Bought twitter premarket at 27.75 Any thoughts on what it could potentially hit today? Looking to sell by the end of today or the next day or so. Made a high of 29.50 then everyone sold.

I think you may have solved my issue So when the IPOs symbol appears with no chart data, I can place this type of order, and then at whatever time the IPO opens, my order will be executed? Does this sounds correct to you? I will surely test it with some IPOs I do not want at low shares.

Very observant. Yes, my goal is to take advantage of it by entering as early as possible. I have a method of placing my exits. Emphasis on the S in exits ;)

What if I am one of the first to place a market order? Would that be a way for me to have the best chance of acquiring at the open price? Does anyone have a recommendation as to what they would do in order to acquire at open price?

Hello all, There are a few IPOs that I want to pickup on the first trading day right at the open (Yes, the first trading day. I am not asking about the initial offering price). This morning, Oct 1, I decided to wake up for the 9:30am open to see how IPOs could potentially react in the...

I am talking about the open of trading. I understand the difference between initial offering prices and first day of trading prices. I also understand that is extremely difficult to obtain them at initial offering prices. So yes, I was referring to obtaining them within the first few seconds of...

Great stuff MST. Question. When I did as you typed for 5 min data, and the time shift, when I place the cursor over the first 5 min candle, the time reads 22:49:59 PM. What timeshift would I need to make this 9:34:59 AM (EST)?

This needs to be pinned to the top of the forums. Thank you so much! I am sure this will help anyone using amibroker and stooq in the future!

Sorry could you reword that. What do you mean by 5 min is not good enough

Stooq is a great place for free 5 minute intraday data (http://stooq.com/db/h/) I am having issues uploading the data to Amibroker. I tried both Metastock and ASCII. Neither with any luck. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
