I'm a new trader and had PTCO on my list to short entering at 5.40, but I got a little scared because the volume was low and wasnt sure how execution would have been. Of course when I saw that it's low was 1.67 I kicked myslef but was glad I at least saw it. Preparation is the key.

@Jacob925 PTCO was a pump. Highly doubt it will bounce, but if it does you should go short not long.

So was PNAT look at the bottom bounce at breakout at 1.64 also check out HADV

@Jacob925 @King_Ramza PTCO could definitely have a #6 Dead Pump Bounce. The fact that it failed twice today is a concern, but this could easily spike back up toward $3 or $4 if the promoters do not give up on it. That being said I would really want to see some volume before going for a quick bounce. The short would have been great, but shares for a stock like this are tough to come by.

@Jason_Raposo thanks!!

trading in the zone and the disciplined trader are great for newbies
