If you want to develop a knack for buying penny stock shares successfully then there are a few things that you need to learn. There are many people that are trading penny stocks but many of these same people are not making money. Trade by trade they are whittling away their stock accounts. The reason that you get involved in stock trading is to make money, not to lose money. So let’s talk about a few things that you can do to to make you more adept at buying penny stock shares.
The first thing that you can do is to stick with penny stocks with good volume. When you trade companies with low volume and low price you run the risk that the stock could be more easily manipulated. Many of those that invest in low volume penny stocks become the victims of pump and dump scams. So if you want to have a better chance of succeeding then you need to stick with companies that cannot be manipulated. I am sure that there are different opinions about what good volume is considered, however, I will give you my opinion.
Although I prefer to trade penny stocks with daily volume in excess of one million shares I will settle for companies that trade at least 300,000 shares per day. I would recommend to stay away from companies with less volume.
The second key to buying penny stock shares successfully is to develop a trading strategy. Look, you will not be successful without a trading strategy. It is essential. You need to determine what triggers you are going to use to get you into a stock position and what triggers you are going to use to exit a position. The moment you take a position you should know what your plan of action will be. How much profit are you looking for? Where will you stop out if the penny stock moves against you? Will you sell some of your position if the stock moves a certain percentage? These, and many others like them, are the questions that you need to ask yourself before you make even one trade.
If you want to find success at buying penny stock shares then these two keys will take you in the right direction. There are other factors that will help as well. You can read through the site to find other tips that will help your trading.

Despite the enormous returns of a few of the stocks shown much of what we will be looking for are stocks that return 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, etc returns. To do this we will be looking for stocks that have a tendency of swinging back and forth. They may never truly go anywhere but they will make the types of swings that we are looking for. Take for example the stock found below.
JA Solar made six upward swings of 10% or more from March 2009 through July 2009. Below is a chart that shows the type of profit that could have been had.
| Start of Run | End of Run | Profit % |
| $1.8 | $3.93 | 118% |
| $3.16 | $3.57 | 13% |
| $2.98 | $4.25 | 52% |
| $2.98 | $6.24 | 119% |
| $4.26 | $4.73 | 11% |
| $3.67 | $5.17 | 41% |
Let’s assume however that you could only get 70% of each run. What could you have made on JASO during this time frame by trading these six runs? If you had traded with 1000 shares each time you would have made a profit of $6608. Not too bad. Once again, JASO is not the exception to the rule. There are plenty of stocks just like it.
