Every situation is different, but trading is always the same, because you are dealing with humans.. SO daytrading is alot like the position trading that you are getting use to.. with bases and surprise panics, the only big differences is timing and risk.. Daytrading is risky (not safe like the position trading) Panics dont always bounce like they should, but the chart always tells you the story...
1st thing is your daytrading, so you have to be on a 5min candle chart.. then you have to read the chart so you know when panics are getting rediculous.. heres the current 5 min chart of BCC

can you see that every few hours we get a big sell off? thats when a block happens and finally some people have there BCC moved to bttrex.. then they dump the price and then it has a chance to settle for a few hours while we wait for the next block.. but the chart is showing this, even without knowing the back story... it tells you that there is way way more sellers than buyers, and they show up every few hours.. Notice the one 47% 5 minute drop ... it was so rediculous that it almost bounced back to the base.. thats a true panic... then every other smaller drop didnt make it back to there bases because there are way way too many sellers, this chart shows extreeme weakness... the next drop was 27% and the last drop was only 13% but i drew in Xs to show you where they didnt return to there 5 min bases..
So you can see how this is very unpredictable, and you could easily get stuck in a trade that leaves you bought in too high while the price slowly disappears on you.. You have to respect the risk.. you have to act fast.. You have to be willing to take a loss quick too if your wrong.. Its not an easy game..

Thats why I avoid trying to teach people how to daytrade, because so many will lose there money trying to time fast moving panics that dont bounce like they should...

Anyway, in regards BCC.. if there is a quick 5-10 minute drop of 30-50% or more I would be loading for a good bounce... so here at 273 i would consider buying around 160 and under, only if it happened in a fast drop, then if it paints a 2nd red bar to under 100, oh man i would get monkey long/buy big... and make huge percentages on the bounce..

I hate to say any of this on my blog, because its soo unsafe, and could get people hurt, and please remember I have been day trading for many many years, so I have an unfair advantage... (so if you feel nervous you are in too big, keep it small when your new)
