Do you sit on the sidelines eveyday because the risk of breaking news might move ES quickly ?

If you actually enter during a fast market, then it is a matter of choice. I choose not to.Quote from volente_00:

No, I only sit on the sidelines in front of scheduled economic reports. I also sit on the sidelines rather than enter a fast market. I may occasaionally find myself in one, but I never enter during one. But that's just me. Also, I don't trade ES. I prefer NQ.Quote from volente_00:

Here's the thread of Jack Hershey's latest student.Quote from jack hershey:
Cascading of orders is not an entry problem, but when you think about whether entry or exit is most inportant, then you get to who is making money and who isn't.
He definitely isn't making any money ... LOL.
P.S. I have no idea what type of orders he ueses ... point-in-fact, I don't believe he even trades.
LOL I have a hard time believing that guy's for real.

And in front of unscheduled news is a choice ?
I take it you have never been in a trade during a unscheduled rate cut ?
So if you are in a trade and it is quite a bit in the money, you will still flatten out because of a eco number being reported ?
If you use market buy orders long enough, eventually you will pay a price that is absurdly high (e.g. $100 per share on a $1 stock). You are effectively placing your entire net worth at the risk of exchange bust-out rules and committees of faceless bureaucrats.
If you use market sell orders long enough, eventually you will sell something for 1 cent. This is a bit less dangerous than buying at a near-infinite price, but still catastrophic.
The only time to use market orders is when your chance of going bust by not exiting as fast as possible is higher than your chance of going bust by a sufficiently bad fill.
Genearlly you should use way out-the-money limit orders to exit in a hurry, not market orders.

You misread his post. At no point did he say he could never be caught in a fast market, in fact he specifically admitted that as a possibility. He simply said he would not *enter* during one.
