William,

Generally I play stocks that have a rhythm. The implication of my style of trading is that when I decide to buy the stock is 30 seconds from an uptick so I "EXPECT" the stock to go up and I buy at the ask price with a potential of over 1/2 pt. or I will not do the trade. If I get any selling overcoming buying I will exit the trade and admit I was wrong.

So it sounds like you may be attempting an "iffy" scalp type trade where the stock can go up or down. I stay out of these type of trades and so prevent most of the problem you are referring to. I really don't care how fast or slow I get into a trade. I recognize by the action the expected direction and bail when wrong.

Good Luck

Ken
