Questions & Answers

Q: How do beginners plan a day trade before the market opens?

Identify stocks with potential, mark their support and resistance levels, and plan possible buy and sell points during pre-market hours. Then wait for a pullback and execute according to the plan rather than relying solely on someone else’s opinion.

Q: What support and resistance levels are identified for AMD?

AMD has overall support at $13 and resistance around $13.40, which it had not broken for two days. The trader bought at $13.30 and planned to cut the loss if AMD fell below $13.

Q: What could happen if AMD breaks above $13.40?

A break above the $13.40 resistance could allow AMD to move toward $13.80. The trader describes $13.80 or $14 as possible selling points.

Q: Why does the trader expect a possible AMD pullback?

The trader observes that AMD commonly pulls back after the market opens. Because it appeared to be preparing for another pullback and was getting close to $13, the trader considered selling for a three-cent loss on a $13 stock.

Q: What price does Snapchat need to break for a potential bounce?

Snapchat needs to break above the $14 resistance level, which had held for the previous week. If it starts trading above $14, the trader says that could confirm a bounce toward its $17 price point.

Q: What levels matter for Rad’s upward momentum?
