hahaha...this is now getting really funny
Defintely NYSE, I hardly ever trade NASDAQ, begin with NYSE, much easier to take advatage of the specialist system and measure your risk...
livingston, are you a scalper, pair trader or a position trader?
Thanks, Livingston!
Would you agree that the position itself dictates holding period?
It would seem that in some trades you're going to exit almost as soon as you get filled, but in others (especially those going well) you might well hold for hours.
A suggestion if you're willing:
It'd be great to see a "trade dissection" of sorts. The stock itself isn't important, but the thought process you use in analyzing and managing the trade relative to the factors influencing your thinking would be very helpful!
Glad to see this thread revived!

my main competency is scalping...in and out..trying to catch nice moves....
iT TAKES 6 TO 8 MONTHS, FIND YOURSELF A MENTOR, PUT UP 5 K, AND GET READY TO FEEL A LOT OF PAIN, AND IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, SOME PLEASURE 
In and out my friend, I dont hold for hours, when things move, they move quickly, some of my most profitbale trades have taken less than a couple of minutes....
