== Requirements ==<br />
* To play, you post your stock trading conquests. No need for volumes, just prices and percentages.<br />
* To do well, you have to....<br />
** Pick at least somewhat decent stocks, ha!<br />
** Consistently follow the rules.<br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
* choose stocks that you think will be going up in the near future<br />
* set a reasonable '''limit buy''' to snag the stock<br />
* once a stock is bought, immediately take ALL THESE ACTIONS...<br />
** set a logical order (lowtrades.com) or conditional order (etrade.com)<br />
*** '''stop sell''' at 95% of buy<br />
*** '''limit sell''' at 105% of buy<br />
** set an '''alert''' at 102% of buy<br />
* wait<br />
* if the alert hits, cancel and recreate the logical order as follows...<br />
** '''stop sell''' at 98.5% of current price - you will always at least break even after the first bump<br />
** '''limit sell''' at 105% of current price<br />
** set an '''alert''' at 102% of current price<br />
* <br />
* eventually the low or high sell will hit<br />
* pick a new stock and repeat<br />
* IF IT FALLS, LET IT FALL; do NOT be a SUCKER and stupidly rush in to pick it back up!<br />
<br />
== Winner ==<br />
Everyone who plays!<br />
<br />
== TODO Automation Pseudocode ==<br />
