Trading IBD 50 - How to start a campaign

J

jem

So Investors.com says we had our follow through day.
So its time to begin a campaign... I believe.
I have traded these stocks before... but not in a systematic manner.
I wish to change that now.

By monday...

I will begin.
I will make decisions based on an Account value of $100,000.
I have more behind that if this works.

Things I need to develop... by Monday...
Positions sizing -
Targets and stop losses
Entries
Options?
How many positions at once in same direction?
Will I be shorting


-----
First questions for the crowd.

Should we look to buy this weeks breakout leaders on pull backs on daily chart or hourly?

Buy fresh breakouts?

What to do if buy points are triggered on big gaps?
