What causes rise and fall of stocks?

Judging by their history in recent months, I have some shares that are sure to rise to the price point that I wish to sell them at.

Every morning before heading off to work, I place my orders.

One of the orders I have been placing is,
“Sell all SAMPLE stock shares @ 2.50” for the day.

Does this constant “sell” stance that I take with this stock negatively effect it’s perceived demand? Can this artificially drive down its going price?

Also, when looking at a stocks chart, there are obvious “buy” low points, and what I would consider obvious “sell” points, yet the stock price will climb past that at times. How?

If a stock is looking like it is climbing i err on the side of caution and sell, otherwise if too greedy i might miss out on successfully selling. Yet, at times it appears that the stock rises, as if someone bought shares, even at that clearly high price? How? Why?
