Hi folks,

If you're a profitable swing trader, I'd love to hear how you handle your next day entries after you've found trade candidates the night before. Obviously there's lots of scenarios that would prove easier or harder to get a good entry price (down market day, gap up, etc) but do you have any suggested methods? Do you just go by feel or set a max entry price? Maybe if stock didn't gap up buy at the open? Of course most trading books say not to trade before (insert time of day). My question pertains mostly to breakout candidates. I realize that I can set buy stops at the breakout price...but I'm mostly finding the hot charts the night of the initial breakout unless it's a pattern breakout (wedge, triangle, box, etc)

Thanks for your input
