I think the way to trade the situation you're talking about is with an option spread in which you buy a Call option on the one stock and buy a Put option on the other stock.
Trading options is a completely different game than simply trading stocks. It's rather complicated, at least at first, but I have to say that once you trade options you may not go back to stock trading. In trading options you can control a much larger position with far less money except there are some disadvantages such as a time limit, etc. It takes a while to learn the in's and out's but you can do it on a simulator. It is probably best to first get comfortable trading stocks and then look at options.
Read up on options in Investopedia and in addition to trading stocks on the Investopedia simulator you can trade options.
Good luck and make money.
