I am looking for some experienced opinion on a scalping scenerio.

Say a stock is trending upwards big time (+30% up as of 10 am) therefore i decide to place a bet that it will move at least few % points more and buy 2000 shares at say $5.

My goal is to make quick $200 (2%) so i place a limit sell at $5.1 as soon as my buy order is executed.

Now lets say the price reaches 5.1 as planned, Could there be a scenario where my limit sell order will not execute or is it possible that i will not be able to sell these 2000 shares once the price reaches 5.1?

I tried this scenerio in Questrade practice account which shows data from previous day and it worked. What factors can cause it to fail in real time??

The unemployment claims for the last 7 weeks, around 33 million, is higher than the summation of the past 7 recessions.

Hello, i'm 21 years old and I've been studying about stock market for the past 9 months. I've learned a lot about the stock market but i'm pretty sure I still have to read many books.

I've managed to increase my portfolio to 45% pre-corona and right now I'm at 17%

anyway i'll get straight to the point now. I've done a lot of jobs but all of these were not related to the stock market. I would like to get a job which will help me get more knowledge on the stock market.

Would you recommend me to spend 3-4 years on a bachelor degree just to be able to find a job in a company related to stock market?

if yes, What would that job be? also what college degree would be the best choice?
