I keep missing the breakout since I'm not always at the computer. Today I checked it at the open and everything looked normal and didn't get a chance to look at the charts until after the close and saw APHA was already up 17%. In this case would it be better to set a limit order at 13.18? But then how would you know the volume is coming in? Reading about multiplying volume by 4 if it's 10:30EST since 25% of session has elapsed. I guess I can aim for a fishhook for second chance. cheers

I'm not a fan of setting limit orders for pullbacks myself, as I want to watch the price action on a pullback to make sure that it and the volume are acting correctly. For early intraday volume I use the IBD charts, as it shows the volume compared to the 50 day average for the time of day. It's not perfect, but if it's 500%+ in the first 15 minutes, then you are more likely to have an above average volume day by the end of the day.

Personally, I use alerts. You do your homework in the evenings and know which few stocks you might want to trade if they go through a certain level. So I set an alert under that level and then I can quickly check the chart if it triggers, and enter if it looks right.

I entered TLRY myself at 21.26 earlier today https://twitter.com/stageanalysis/status...93064?s=20, which is merging with APHA in a few months or so. But lots of weed stocks in the watchlist again tonight, so a group move today as multiple broke out from their recent bases.
