SPEED" :)
And besides this way I couldn't care less if the market slides down for days/weeks/months as I'm all in cash at the end of the day.
Makes for way less stress and that sounds good to me.

BONEHEAD OF THE DAY
Ok, so for the week I had a pretty good win/lose percentage but the closest thing I had to a rocket launch was on Wednesday with IDSA at 25%.
Today I could have probably topped that one but I BLEW IT.
In the chatroom Slotmonkey put up IDMI which turned out to be a super alert.
At the time I was holding quite a few stocks and since I thought to myself, "I don't recognize this stock" I didn't even bother to do a quick chart on it.
It ran from about 7.20 to a hod of 9.68 right near the end of day.
After the close I looked at the chart and couldn't believe it.
...I HAD POSTED ABOUT THIS SAME STOCK ON 4/7!
This is great, here is what I said:
They may go quiet for a long period of time, but when one day they start running on the HOD list (with volume), you better pay attention!
Ya gotta love where I say "YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION"
This is why I love trading stocks,you just never know what will happen next.
It's also why I lost an ego a long time ago.
As long as I've been trading I still pull bonehead moves like this on a regular basis, haha.
Every day, "WHAT A RUSH" is right!

SPEAKING OF IDMI
As Stockbee would say, IDMI had an episodic moment. That's why it's important to remember Former Runners. This stock may never go again, but many do, and that's why it's important get to know stocks and how they behave.They may go quiet for a long period of time, but when one day they start running on the HOD list (with volume), you better pay attention!

WATCHES 4/27
AMRN MDII NNRF ONSM TGEN ZROS CYRX ALAN LGBT KALG BBA IDSA SOLUQ RPTN PACT VII EVCC USSU BTEM BFT
These stocks lost 8% or more yesterday.
Many have good dayrange.
Many have had a recent sq/vol/breakout and have pulled back.
Some have even pulled back into the "zone",EMA30/SMA10.
Ones in this zone are:
MDII NNRF ONSM TGEN CYRX RPTN VII BFT
Ones with big dayrange,listed in descending 30 day average:
BFT NNRF BTEM MDII ZROS CYRX TGEN USSU AMRN ONSM RPTN IDSA ALAN VII
As most of you know I pretty much watch the rolling hod list on Scott to try to find ones I feel will have a good move left.
Talking to some folks about this I was surprised to find that a few didn't realize that when the list is rolling that it will highlight the stocks you have on the screen under it in BLUE.
What I do is put my main list for the day,like this one,up and then put the hod list on,that way when any of these 20 stocks hits the hod list it is so easy to spot.

***MY TRADES
DAWG Trades 
I've had a few emails asking if I can post my trades I make so I'll try to post the trades I make each day.
I'll do this for the next couple of weeks and if it's popular I'll keep it up, if not I'll stop.
I'll start with Monday's to today's and add a new post every trading day.
Please, if you have any questions as to why I entered any particular stock don't hesitate to comment.
That is what this is about, maybe some can learn off it.

AVNR in 2.72 out 2.93
MODG in 2.01 out 2.59
ATEA in 7.59 out 8.75
First day back trading since Wednesday and it felt good.
Out of my 4 trades only 2 I spotted on my own. MODG gave me 29% courtesy of a great headsup by Slotmonkey and the ever hod list stalker,Loki, spotted and alerted AVNR.
If you frequent the chatroom you know I hardly make it there by 9:30 most days as I'm really lazy and get to doing other stuff.My mission is to spend the least amount of time doing stock research as possible and enjoy other things,so when I showed up 45 minutes early today it surprised even me.
Last night on afterhours I saw one of my all time favorite low floaters ATEA up 30% with volume and I could hardly wait to get started.
From the past I remembered this one and how it could run and it paid off.
Like I've said many times,try to log or remember these kind.
From todays chat:
OSIS in 28.30 out 29.15

MOBE in 3 out 3.50
NNPP in 1.71 out 1.88
IDMI in 9.02 out 9.13
BIOS in 3.90 out 4.30
Really good day for me to top off one of my better weeks since I've gone to exclusively daytrading
BIOS went from 3.90 to 4.70 in less than 10 minutes which was quite a rush.
It came down from 4.70 so fast I missed my stop at 4.55 and I outted at 4.30 which was still ok.
I jumped right on this one as soon as I saw the b/o because I remembered the huge fast run it did back on 11/22
Thursday 5/3:

GTI in 11.55 out 12.10
After my stop was hit on EVCC at 2.49 near the end of the day share price plunged to close at 1.94.
It'll be near the top of my watches again for Friday,along with KDKN HPLF NNRF OPBL as ones that took a hit
Wednesday 5/2:

TTMI in 10.51 out 12.09
ANPI in 6.04 out 6.61
EVCC in 1.83 out 2.10
I never saw ANPI hitting the hod list but I traded it off the great headsup by Slotmonkey in our chat.
Caught EVCC again for another 15% making it 52% over the last 2 days.
It has run 83% in the last 2 days and I've gotten 2 nice middle pieces from it.
As I've said before this is my goal, to take middles and move on to the next one.
I'm not trying to guess tops and I'm not trying to guess bottoms, for me anyway, it's alot less stressful and so far I can't argue with my win/loss or profit ratio.
Tues 5/1:
RX in 30.28 out 31.58
TRCR in 14.23 out 15.29

IDMI in 9.49 out 10.37
Not a great day for me as there were just too many things I saw running that I liked and in some cases went with not the best choices I guess but that happens. The weird thing was the Nas down 32 and so many good setups.
I flinched on a great alert by member Stockgal on SWRI at a price of under 1.80, then decided to let it go. Big mistake as it climbed steadily to close at 2.24.

SCON which Loki and I saw/alerted hit the hod list with huge volume spikes right at the start of it's big pop on Friday may take off right from open today,4/23.
Loki said at the time it had contract news from the Air Force which hadn't hit the newswires yet at that time.
Looks like the company has just released that news at 7 a.m this morning,might be a runner at open.
