LPS,

Wide enough daily range to generate some profit. And if you're not trying to scalp a spread or even using an ECN: sufficient liquidity to generate usable 5-min intraday bars, volume of at least 1-3 mil shares (preferably 5+), fast autofill executions through whatever broker you use.

Definitely agree some stocks become tradable through news and volume for short periods. Almost anything in NASDAQ can go crazy for a few days and the spreads drop through the floor.

Just to show extremes, even a few of the Dow 30 awaken from their slumber and jump in volatility regularly, making them good day trading candidates. MMM was nice a week ago, HWP has had its moments recently and even GE can be fun sometimes.

Alan

You seem to think in terms of Price, when you talked about the 1000 shares. Here you refer to "trading interest" (how is that measured). Alan speaks mainly to Volume in the millions.

I guess that leaves out movers like ADAM, going up more than 100% this week?
