I have read your message several times and decided to answer, with some sharing, in the SI spirit--
Many of us have had the same experience that you have chasing these little stocks around, trading frenetically, winning and then losing the gains quickly--and ultimately being lucky to come out even--

Twice in the past 18 months or so I have stopped and tried other angles--here is the one angle I have found that works about 80 or 90% of the time and that I have now pretty much settled on--

Each day I read the IBD list of most downs ( on the IBD internet version)
I look for those that got slammed the worst
Many have no news or little news to justify the slammimng
I put these into a realtime watch list
The next day these often drop even more
Then they rebound or bounce or dead cat bounce whatever term you like-
They start to rise--once that rise is a firmly steady upward trend I buy and I buy heavy using margin -
I then put a sell order in to sell one buck above my buy --
80 to 90% of these pan out and you are out of the market in cash at the end of the day--

( And the next day the market opens down or just drops and drops and you offer a prayer of thanks to be in all cash on the sideline)

Now if the market is tanking I usually just pass on trading that day--same if there are no severely hit stocks to choose from

Profit is very high--not unusual to make 3K or 5K on a good day
Especially if you sell half at a buck and let the other half ride on a stock which rebounds $3 to $5, but I watch that carefully and remind myself not to let greed overcome my judgment--
And those that do not pan out--heck I bought so low any loss is minimal, pennies--

You should paper trade it for awhile and see how it works and I think you will be happy
Hope this is of use to you
