Today’s bids sold before 26sep2024: nil
{ssd} = sold-same-day at a minimum 5% gain (unless otherwise noted)
My 5% gain + expenses may be different than yours as I pay 1 cent per share commission (both ways) and I allow another penny for miscellaneous account expenses and rounding. Thus, a $3.00 BUY will actually sell for:
($3.00 x 1.05) + $0.04 = $3.15 + $0.04 = $3.19

Please review these ground rules regularly:
Remember, these BIDS are entered as STOP LIMIT – DAY
and ASKS are LIMIT – GTC (Good Till Cancel)
For money management safety, never put more than 2% of your DAILY net equity balance into any one position. (Some exceptions apply. See below). You will have more flexibility and be even more comfortable with 1% or less as a position size. THIS IS TOTALLY YOUR DECISION.
I’ve actually switched my money management to allow me to bid on all the daily bid lists published herein. I only use 25% of my Buying Power (BP) each morning, divided by the number of bids. Thus, if you have $1,000 of BP, you will only use $250 for that day’s bidding. If you fill 40% ($100) of your bids that day, the next day your buying power might be about $900, ($1,000 less the $100 you actually spent the day before). This way your typically able to play every single bid, every day. Ultimately, it may take some time to find what works best for you.
You can bid on all stocks on the bid lists, even if you already own them, and PROVIDING the potential negative effects of your broker’s commission structure makes it logical and profitable for you to do so.
You may prefer an approach of always buying the same NUMBER of shares when you add to a position. For instance, if you buy 2 lots (200 shares) of a stock at $4, and that stock goes down in price, then when that stock shows on my bid list again, you could buy another 2 lots at the lower price. Just make sure your approach drops your Asking price a healthy amount.
I don’t use stops. That said, it’s important to realize that this is a very contrarian view compared to most of the industry. I average down in a strictly controlled method as noted above.
Have a great day!
