What is pre-market trading?
Premarket trading allows traders to buy and sell stocks before official market hours if the broker offers this option. Some brokers do not offer trading in the premarket at all. The premarket trading benefit is a possibility for traders to react to off-hour news and events.
Trading gaps bigger than 4% are beneficial, whereas Gaps smaller than 3-4% are generally coped up, but they are not in my interest. So the moment I get a propelling stock, I start looking for impetus.
I move forward to enter once I’m sure about my impetus. My Gap and Go! The technique is much identical to my Momentum Day dealing techniques. The only change among both of them is that the Gap and Go! The technique is particularly for deals between 9:30 am 10:00 am.
As the market starts to operate, I search for fast and simple deals. Gap and Go! is a fast stock market technique, which gets us some good deals till10 o’clock.
