I don’t have a margin account yet so I can’t sell short yet and I’ve gotten good at charting but my question is. Since I can’t sell short and prices are not always where I would buy at should I just be setting target prices and waiting for them to hit the price or should I just be focusing on stocks in an uptrend so I don’t have to wait so long for buy setups?

For practice I’ve built up an account from $5 to $190 trading small $3 or less stocks and cryptos. But I’m not really sure how to scale higher profits from larger stocks yet. Any advice
