I'm also looking at
HOLX
FLSH
JOYG
AMTD - $6 drop, over 25% but normally a pretty flat stock, so low probability.
And favourite VLO which has tested 61.30 resistance in pre-market - nice U completed from yesterday or hopefully a BIG cup and handle.
You guys seem more concentrated on intraday rather than eod stuff like me but I though I would post my current positions.
If anyone has any comments I would appreciate hearing them..

Been trialling Via Trader today. Trying to work out how to match the calls to potential trades. The answer is to just relax! Chill! Watch what is actually happening on your charts and L2 when it throws something up. Enter if it's good, avoid if it's not. If you relax and don't flap, you're ok, otherwise you get smacked by the car with the headlights coming hurtling towards you!
And don't try to look at everything!
Very interesting though. And loads of opportunities.

samtron said:just a thought, I'm not sure if its practical, instead of routing it to the selected ECN use smart routing (ib has it, not sure about other brokers) then you should still get filled, but you might even get a better price than the price offered by your selected ECN.
As a novice I'll be steering well clear of the pre/post market stuff for the time-being
Good luck today gang
Hi Samtron
I can't comment on IB, but yes smart routing should work OK, limit not market though, as outside hours.
I only hit bids or take offers when a bit slower and I want to have absolute control of my exit and find where the liquidity is. Otherwise I'll be pegging the inside (dynamic limit order). I imagine with IB smart routing it will be routed to ARCA, BRUT, then ISLD, so with ARCA, you don't need an uptick if shorting.
Had a nice short in QCOM post market for a $1.15 and 2 trades this evening. One in CBRL for 39 cents and a 7 cent loss in JNPR.
Nokia earnings tomorrow are going to cause some stir
plus Nasdaq heavyweight AMGN. Both before open.

And check out VRSN's after-hours tonight. Earnings tomorrow pre-market. Hmmmm, think somebody knows something? The trouble is, what?!PitBull said:Nokia earnings tomorrow are going to cause some stir
Oh - and SNDK tomorrow night........... think I'll stick to KLAC and let dvdh and PitBull take that on!
Hi
QCOM probably good from both sides last night. I took a long on the basis of the 1 min chart and L2. I've been a little sceptical re the utility of L2 in the past, I use it but not as the main decision factor in entering a trade. I must admit though, that with these pre/post market trades, I am finding momentum seen on the L2 screen and tape to be the most useful thing to look at.
Won't be trading for the next couple of days - away on more mundane business. Pity - should be good - major results, and which way are the US market going to go ? Bounce or start of a short term downtrend. I've a small short on the Dow, but who knows.
