Best Stocks for Scalping

stasbz · Nov 3, 2011

my greetings.
experienced traders: could you give me advice what stocks best for scalping?
(under scalping i mean - take some ticks, keep position from 2c to some miniutes depends of market)
we can divide stocks in four categories: volume, volatility, price, plain chart.
i think that best stocks for scalping - price $10-25, 50-75c range.
What about volume? it is better to trade high volume stocks or 1-3m?
what more difficult? it is better to start from low volume stocks?

Hey,

I prefer stocks that do at least 50,000 shares average daily trading volume and at least a 50 cent intraday range. I'm looking for stocks with large 15-minute price ranges as well for scalps as I want to be in and out quickly, which is also why I avoid low-volume stocks for scalping. I wrote a bit more about what I look for in this article: How To Find The Best Stocks For Day Trading. Hope you find it helpful!
