Short-term intraday traders: limit or market entries?

Quote from CONTRARIAN:

I use Stop-Limit Orders to enter into positions.
I also use Stop-Limit Orders as a protective trailing Stop-Loss.
I use Limit Orders to take profit.


.........sometimes when I'm scalping I will use Limits both to enter and exit.

I NEVER EVER EVER EVER USE MKT ORDERS UNLESS MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!:eek:

NICE! You have to remember to change your alias to match your signature. Not only are you a scammer and a spammer, which was proven on the "SNAKEOIL" thread yesterday. But, you just screwed up and let everyone on ET know you have at least one other alias. And, if we know about one, there are probably 10 we don't know about. Kind of like roaches...

:D
 
Here are all of my Aliases:

6. Harrytrader
7. Bruto Blukowski

........and many many!
I also have 2 Moderator aliases.

No, I am not you. You are a liar, and a spammer who tries to get business from ET. Your spin will not save you here - anyone interested in your intentions needs to visit this thread - start with the post fron newtoet, and read the following pages:

Yes it is true:

Snooptrader and Bruto Blukowski are my alter ego's that i created to argue with myself so that people would read my threads and feel sorry for me.:p


Have you not noticed that they follow me wherever I go?
Every thread that I have started they are the ones that FLAME me the most!

Yes it is sick I know but there was no other way.
I had to make people listen to me.

I need help.:p
 
YOUR AN IDIOT T-REX!

Go play your games and web of lies/deceit someplace else.

You have played out your trolling for $1200 subscriptions to
ad nauseam on this forum.
 
i use both, depending on circumstance: if a market is too illiquid and moving too fast to risk a market order, it's probably not somewhere a little guy should be, anyway.

Thunderdog:

If the market went through your limit price, aren’t you going to get your fill? How are you missing the opportunity?

I use limit order to enter. Limit and stop-limit to exit trades. No market orders. My missed opportunities come when the market comes close or sometimes touches my limit price, but don’t fill before it moves away from it. I use 100 tick chart on the ES and holding time can vary from under a minute to sometime over 30 minutes.
