How do you know when it's about to go up? Is there some way to know the price of the next trade before it's happened?Then you just time it for a moment when you know it's about to go up and execute the buy order first.What if the stock is going up and down and up and down... The direction of market momentum can change with each trade. Regardless, in the absence of extreme volatility, the price change should be negligible if the swap is done within a few seconds as market orders. As comments have already noted, however, the bigger issue for a BH concerns the wisdom of owning individual stocks, but OP hasn't posed that question.It's easy: If the stock is going to go up that day, you buy first, sell second. If the stock is going to go down, you sell first, buy second!Are bid-ask spreads relatively constant for a given stock, or do they change during the day/week... (based on volume)? Do people actually monitor bid-ask spreads before buying? In the end, it's only $150 so I'm not too worried about it - I just don't want to buy at higher than necessary spreads.
