Title: Term needed for buying/selling stable stock on the up/down ticks
Post by: super2u on May 30, 2011, 10:30:12 AM
My financial terminology is weak so bear with me please.
I need the term that describes one buying a very stable stock that perhaps fluctuates very little.  Say AAA stock has an annual low of 49 and a high of 51.  I might buy it automatically when it dips to 49.5 and automatically sell when it rises to 50.5.  My transaction size is around $50,000 to minimize stock transaction costs.  I have a stop loss at around 49.  I would monitor it several times a day. 

Is there a term for this style of trading?
