one thing i noticed w/my datek account is that my limit orders at the bid or ask price don't really get filled, i'll watch houndreds of thousand shares trade at the price i am bidding or asking and my order wont get filled, i see all the market makers and ecns volume changing, but nothing ever...

what are some good trading stratgies for a new trader to use?

i agree that a higer priced stock will move a few cents more than a lower priced stock, but i won't be able to get as many shares on a higer priced stock. ie: buy 4000 shares of xyz @ 5.00 and it moves .02 minus comission, i use datek/ameritrade for my broker @11.00 per trade, that is a total of...
