Mike, Here is a trade I made on SPLK today. I botched my order. My order was set to buy 100 shares. As I clicked cancel I got filled on 5 of the 100. This caused a little confusion on my part, once understood, I focused on the target. I decided to not add at any point and let price move to my target. Given the small share size there was no stress. My best trades are usually made after the market is open for about 1 to 2 hours.

The study is a fibonacci retracement. I only added this to the chart for illustrative purposes. The R1, R2, R3 are text boxes that I added. If I was looking for a power hour scalp I'd look to stocks that are strong in 1 direction for the entire day. For example CAT on the long side or PDD on the short side. The key is to focus on stocks that trended intraday. Life is to short to waste it on scalping chop.

Mike; Here are my comments on AMD. If you don't want comments let me know. I'm hoping Abiel can start uploading my videos to youtube which will give you a chance to comment on my trades also.

Mike; I read many of your posts tonight. My thoughts. 1) You are only willing to risk a few cents. This requires perfect timing, entry, and to an extent knowing the future. 2) I see you got in on T today. Are you willing to consider stocks not on your list? For example, TGT had a nice move. 3) What do you prefer? Intraday trend trading such as TGT. Or volatility scalping such as MO, CORT. 4) I see in most of your videos you are adding AMD to your watch list. This is a violation of your process. Follow your process of focus on stocks with a catalyst. AMD rarely has a catalyst. 5) If the thought of losing money is too stressful then you might consider selling put credit spreads 45 to 60 days in the future on massive down days in the S&P500 or a favorite stock of the market (not yours). Take care.
