Feeling like this is likely to be one of those "stupid" questions, but here goes anyways. Buy Low. Sell High. Buy Low. That's my pattern. The second instance of the Buy Low.. I always make sure that it's lower than that High I bought at, right before it. Mathmatically that seems to be best but it can get sticky. I'm only doing limit orders, also. So the question is: Is that pattern the proper way to do this or do you buy dips/sell on the uptick without paying attention to you last buy/sell? I hope that makes sense...
