All I can tell you is what I've been doing because I'm no pro. These stocks that make huge runs in a day to three days I just follow them with a stop loss. I just use my gut feeling as to what price would it have to drop to that would make me think its going to just run down.

The one I bought today at 17.21 I immediately put a stop loss on it at 15. It moved to 19 so I moved my stop loss to 17. It moved to 21 so I moved my sl to 19. It ended at 23.70 and I had a SL at 20 at the end of the day.

A stock like X we know is pretty stable so I don't mess with a SL on it unless I were to see it start falling for a couple days and get worried.

stop loss is only good for the day but costs nothing if it doesn't fill.

I'm still learning.

A good site to follow is www.stocktwits.com get on there and plug in a ticker symbol for the stock you are following and there will be conversation regarding that stock. And those people on there range from professional traders to regular stock owners but it's like CP for stocks because somebody on there will bring you breaking news that will make you money or at least keep you from losing it.

Also I think what you can do , if your worried about going to work and not being able to keep an eye on it just put your stop loss in that morning before you leave. Some stocks like you say will fluctuate within a day so you don't want it to drop from 21 to 19 and trigger a sale and then run back up to 22. So you need to keep your stop loss out of the range of fluctuation.

Can’t decide which one to choose
NVDA is great stuff. I bought in this past May at $104 and I've basically doubled my money. I plan on holding it for a long time.

In commodities there are support and resistance that works, but you have to put it past the support or resistance because a lot of stops get run.

I've never done it on stocks, but if it were me, I'd put the stop outside the biggest daily move over the last year.

Looking at the chart, $16ish is not a bad area

If it's a stock with a lot of upside potential consider selling half now, then a stop loss for the rest can be something lower. Remember you don't have to be all in or all out.

Good information. Thanks.

It ended today above $24. Up 25% the past few days.

I almost bought more around $16.

WATT was up another 38% today. Afterhours it's up another 5% which means it MAY have another run in it tomorrow.

Or it could tank.

I ended 2017 with a 26.58% return on my Roth IRA.

This was double the return from last year.

And I'm hoping for another year over 20% in 2018.

Lewdog got me to lookin at Cannabis stocks and holy crap!

The last 30 days there have been some huge gains.

I gotta share but I'm not recommending any. Just FYI.

BUDZ .... 148%
TRTC........ 84%
IIPR......... 72%
APHQF...... 71%
TWMJF...... 63%
CNBX........ 63%
HYYDF....... 63%
ACBFF....... 58%
SRNA........ 50%

Those are gains last 30 days. Looks like the upcoming legalization of medical MJ in Cali and Canada is spurring.

There is a new weed index ETF available on NYSE too, mjx. Dunno, if it's great or not.. only 30 something holdings and I think it rebalances every quarter which seems slow for a fast moving industry.

It's a pretty volatile stock. I got in at $188...so pretty much it's peak. LOL.

It was down to $168 in the past month as well.

Spent a crazy two weeks trading pot stocks in the run up to legalization in Colorado. Unbelievable volume being going back and forth during that time. A lot of money made and lost. Only one of those tickers that was in demand back then was Terra Tech (TRTC). Still keep my eye on that one.

End of year selloff mostly went right back into last year's growth sectors China, semiconductors and tech a bit.

I sold some things off completely and reduced others towards the end of year. 8/16 positions in my taxable account were up 3.89% or more today. Very nice! Alibaba and Micron were two that have been discussed here.

jnj was my only down position

Tons of talk of a big Intel bug the last few days that could be damaging; if you have a significant position you may want to reduce
