dccolt 19 posts msg #55814 - Ignore dccolt modified	10/18/2007 6:25:23 PM Is it better to place a buy order at market price the night before and just wait for the order to be placed OR wait for just about 30 seconds or so after the market's open to place the buy order? What I am getting at, is there more of a bid/spread difference where I would be losing 10-40 cents or more by placing the order the night before rather than if I wait for a few moments after the open for the bid/spread to close? The reason I ask is two fold: 1.) Because it seems that there can be a large spread between the bid/ask (sometimes 60-80 cents or more right before the open that quickly diminishes to 1-5 cents after the stock begins actively trading (therefore getting in before the difference closes results in lost profits), and 2.) Hesitation before entry on a stock moving in a favorable direction reduces the probabilities of hitting your target ($.50 or whatever) because the stock has already advanced by the time you get in. Thanks in advance

Go back and search the gappers, then pull up the charts, look at a specific time frame, a 1, 5, 15, 30 minute chart, whatever you like, then look at the first 30 minutes of trading, mark the high, look at what time the price traded over the 30 minute high, mark it and compare! The Due Diligence is up to you! Try this, go to Finance.Yahoo and pull up a few charts, then compare the time frames to price movement, you will be amazed! Time frames 9:30 to 9:50 9:50 to 10:15 10:15 to 10:50 You get the picture
