{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 REVUE 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 1.5% 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.
Another mode of money management is to only use 25% of your Buying Power (BP) each morning, divided by the number of bids. Thus, if you have $30,000 of BP and 10 bids on the list, you will only use $7,500 for that day’s bidding at $750 per position.
If you fill 40% ($3,000) of your bids that day, the next day your BP might be about $27,000, ($30,000 less the $3,000 you actually spent the day before). This way you’re typically able to play every single bid, every day. Ultimately, it may take some time to find what works best for you.
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 on the bid list. Just make sure your approach drops your Ask price a healthy amount.
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.
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!
Brian
