If you have an entry price that you want but it is below the previous close and the new opening price is well below your desired price would it be wise to use a buy stop limit order so that you would not get filled with a falling stock and possibly make the stop and limit price the same?

I know what you are saying. I paper traded with Investopedia and found that when I hit the button to buy or sell that even though it took about 20 minutes to respond it was at the price that I expected.

Thank you for the intelligent answer

I get the idea of the trailing stop but what I need to know when is the previous day low they talk about

Hi everyone.I have not used trailing stops before and I have a question. I was told to use the previous low as the trailing stop. My problem is if I put my stop on before the opening "in the morning" is the previous low the day before or if I put the stop on after the market closes is the stop...

Thank you how did you know I was from California

thank you for the intelligent reply,why would I expect any different from somebody that does not know the answer

I put a trade in , a buy limit ,then the stock opened above my limit and I did not get in .Is this normal.

I belong to Zack premium and they give you "tips" each day you would think if I am doing my screens right I would at least get one to match theirs

No hobbies can cost more but they can be pretty , this one keeps me out of trouble.This one may be better in January.

Interesting idea, there sure is a lot of info involved in this "hobby"

I agree but maybe I am putting to many fundamentals and earnings info into my screens.
