Triple tap on daily and 30 minute showed a little consolidation. Took partial in the base with a buy stop at 54.15 add for a breakout. Volume poured in as it ripped and filled me at the top so put my stop in below intraday lows as was a false B/O. This was tuff as that volume looked legit and this thing ripped +.50 in minutes. Honored stop, on watch for tomorrow.

I agree with Nape. Low volume stocks are very hard to day trade. Kunal did teach us to play stocks with an average daily volume of 250,000+ but i usually stick with stocks that have an average daily volume of 500,000+. When i do trade stocks with lower volume i make sure to only by a small number of shares. That way if it goes against me i can get out fast.
thin stock hot setup thoguh but u need a really tight pattern to do it..i trade these all the time but on pullbacks are really tight patterns..u cant chase it as there are no buyers every anywehre!
I'm noticing that kunal, that as they rising off that P/B bounce on low volume, i should expect a failed B/O and look to buy that P/B

Low volume stocks make it difficult to day trade.. Plus the intraday chart is to messy.
