How are you timing entries on volatile low-cap NGX plays in the simulator?

Omo, chasing those low-cap counters on the simulator will test your patience sha, especially with names that love to trap early morning momentum. Personally, I’ve stopped jumping at those 9:30 AM open spikes and now wait to see where the volume actually settles by mid-morning before scaling in gradually. If the daily chart isn't showing sustained backing behind the move, it's usually just liquidity bait waiting to snap back on you.

Ah, you are speaking my language with Japaul and Universal Insurance, because those are the exact counters testing my patience on the simulator right now! I've been making that same mistake of chasing the morning green candles only to watch it dump by afternoon, so I'm really curious if waiting for the daily close volume is the safer bet or if I just need more discipline with scaling in slowly. How do you usually decide when a volume spike is actually real versus just a fakeout?
