from IBD: Sell And Take Profits In Top Growth Stocks, Or Hold? Several Guidelines To Follow

https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/sell-and-take-profits-or-hold-here-are-several-guidelines-to-follow/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow%20Evergreen&utm_content=social

One: If the stock's 20% gain comes in the first two or three weeks after the breakout, then it should be held at least eight weeks — barring outright sell signals or a severely negative change in the market trend. True market leaders often get a fast start. You don't want to sell such a stock too early.
Two: If a market winner took longer to reach the 20% mark but has three quarters of EPS growth acceleration in a row, you might want to hold the stock.
Three: If the 20% gain came slowly and from a second-stage base or later, you should sell. Most big winners correct after a 20% to 25% gain. A third-stage base is prone to fail. So, why hold for that?
Four: If the gain came in an erratic fashion, sell. It doesn't matter if the stock or the general market is to blame. Such a stock is likely to move against you quickly.
Five: If you've taken a 7% or 8% lossrecently, then the bias tilts toward taking the profit in the 20% to 25% gainer. It's prudent to keep a 3-1 ratio between gains and losses. You can be right just once every four tries and still break even or make a small gain.
Six: If you've taken several 7% to 8% losses and have no stock up 20% to 25%, consider taking smaller profits to erase the losses. Then you should step back and study your buys and sells to determine the reason you are losing.

MAGNA5

From Stockbee:

MAGNA5

MA massive earnings acceleration or massive sales acceleration or massive earnings surprise.
Massive = greater than 100% plus with EPS growth 100% plus growth on meaningful terms. 5 cents becoming 20 cents not 1 cents becoming 4 cents. 10 million revenue becoming 200 million not 10 million becoming 20 million
G gap up on earnings day of at least 4 % plus in after hours or pre market with at least 100k volume
N neglect or base of few months to years. low fund ownership
A sales acceleration of 25% plus preferable. Earnings growth without corresponding sales growth is questionable. But in turnaround situation this condition can be ignored
5 Short interest ratio or days short greater than 5 or 5 days

Entering and exiting NTRT trades

Enter after hours if you have high risk tolerance
Enter Pre market again risky as sometime the moves fade
Enter at open with 1 dollar stop
Enter after 15 minutes less risky but you might miss some gains.
Exit on trailing stops. I trail by 1 dollar and then 50 cents as stocks moves in my favor
Many of these moves fade later after first 1 hour or 2 hours
Some move continue for days.
