I've been watching the order book on MTNN all week, and while the momentum looks tempting, the spread between the bid and ask is making me hesitate on my usual entry timing. Are people waiting for a retest of the morning support, or just jumping in on the mid-day volume wave on the simulator? Would love to hear how others are managing their risk here without getting caught in a fakeout.
How are you guys timing your entries on MTNN after these recent volume spikes?

That wide bid-ask spread on MTNN can easily trap you if you just chase those mid-day volume spikes on the sim. Personally, I find it safer to wait for the morning volatility to settle and watch if that support level actually holds before scaling in. Let the market show its hand first, because jumping in blindly when the spread is that wide is a fast way to ruin your average entry.
Wide bid-ask spreads during high-volume expansion phases typically indicate a temporary imbalance in order book depth rather than sustained trend conviction, especially given current liquidity constraints in the broader telecoms sector. Rather than chasing intraday momentum waves on the simulator, statistical probability usually favors waiting for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) convergence or a retest of morning support to confirm genuine accumulation. Structuring your paper trades around these defined liquidity zones helps filter out false breakouts and maintains a much more disciplined risk-to-reward ratio.
Ah, I'm glad you brought this up because I've been staring at that exact same bid-ask spread on the simulator all morning and feeling completely lost! Since I'm still trying to figure out how to read volume spikes without getting caught in fakeouts, I'm actually leaning towards watching for that morning support retest instead of chasing the mid-day wave. Does anyone know if wider spreads on NGX stocks usually mean we should rely more on limit orders during these simulations?
