Penny stocks

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question but where can I find reliable information on penny stocks? I am a small time investor and want to use this as a way to get started and learn as I go before breaking myself off.

 

Thanks for any and all help

first you need to define what a penny stock is....market cap, share price etc;

then IMHO penny stocks are more like binary options - you either make a lot of money or lose it. they are not really great for trading, but can be fantastic for punting as part of a portfolio.

If you can get access to market data, they should all be there, it depends on how you want to analyse them - technical or fundamental.

you can get reliable penny stock information in cow pasture.

if you walk in it often enough, sooner then later you are going to get shxt in your shoes.

Penny stock is a form of gambling, not trading. It is populated by manipulators who will be happy to take your money. If your post is a prelude to a spam for newsletter subscription or similar advisory services, then you are pretty naive. If you are a wannabe trader and your post is a genuine question, my genuine advice to you is to stay away from penny stocks. There are better ways to spend your money.

Amen! Stay away from penny stocks, they are manipulated and the insiders are going to take all your money. You might win a big one here and there but the odds are so stacked against you ... playing blackjack or craps will give you a better chance.

If one will simply daytrade the daily movements in penny stock or at longest the longest time frame swingtrade them 2 to 5 days it is possible to have a high win rate on small profits. Of course being brutal in cutting losses is imperative. For instance, say a penny stock has a .05 average daily range. Look to capture .02 of that. Lets say the stock costs .15 share. One invest 750.00 buying 5000 shares. One captures .02 or 100.00. To invest 750.00 for a few hours and make 100.00 is a pretty good rate of return.

 

 

Do do this one really needs some sort of tool (such trading software) that will give you some idea of the mometum..etc of the movements... pivots..etc Also, one needs a good penny stock broker. And a margin account. Just2trade is a good lowcost penny stock broker. about 5.00 RT basically almost unlimited shares for all practical purpose.

 

When day trading penny stocks grab what the market gives you. Most of the time that will be .01 to .03cents per share and sometimes only 1/2 cent a share. Just be flat at the end of the day unless you are using a swing trade strategy.

 

Look at it this way. If you can buy 10,000 shares and capture .02 you have cleared 195.00 for the day after comissions. Capture .03 and you end the day with 295.00. Capture 1/2 cents and you end the day with 45.00 after commisions. If you have the cash and have a margin account and can do this 2 or 3 times a day you can make a little money at it.

 

The secret is: measuring direction and momentum. Don't be greedy. Cut losses. Don't invest. Only trade pennies with at least a .03 range. Be statisfied with a slice of the range unless there is a big move up and you are`already in. Then ride it until it tanks and dump immediately. Never look back and say I should have held on for more profit. Take your profit and run. Otherwise, you will attempt to hold on ..not cut losses..and take some bad hits. It only takes a few to get you far enough behind it is hard to catch back up.

 

Never take advice ..hot tips..etc. Most are pump and dump scams. Just read average range..trend...momen..support..resistance...pivot points...correlate volume with price..etc of a particular penny and make your decision on those factors.

 

Disclaimer: The above is not trading advice. Just my thoughts on the matter. For informational purpose only.

Forget about it! Penny stocks trade for a reason at a penny or nickels: they are worth no more and are heavily manipulated and is the last place a newbie would want to start out.

 

Better to buy 100 shares of a great company, that is liquid and has a history (Blue Chips, paying a dividend) than to buy a penny stock that is nearly worthless and usually for good reasons.

Penny stock investing is very risk. Although some penny stocks sharply increase in value, most do not. If you intend to invest in penny stocks you should know the differences between penny stocks and other stocks. In recent years, trading penny stocks has become increasingly popular especially after online penny stock trading was introduced.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
