I picked a stock overnight that I wanted to sell. It was at 300 overnight so I set an order to sell at the market open. I was right but the stock dropped to 289 at the market open so thats what I shorted the shares at. They dropped to 285 during the day so the profit I made was a drop from 289 to 285 rather than 300 to 285 - how can you avoid this happening?
I hope someone who is good at this can help as its frustrating when I got it correct but didn't make any money!
