Default Re: What's the best way to daytrade?

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent response. I used to be one of Joe Ross's assistants and worked with him on his trading order placement course. If you called Joe's Bahamas office in 1994 I was probably the guy who answered the phone.

While I was daytrading I placed over 1500 real money S&P futures daytrades. I got out of daytrading before you could get fills via computer; I hate the phone ordering process with its necessity for tape recording, time stamping and all that to cover your hiney.

I'd love to daytrade with market orders and just get in and out on a visual or chart instinct basis.

I didn't see Joe's books or Linda B. Raschke's books in your list of those that benefitted you, though I bet you've read them.

Thanks again for the answer.

Best,

- Boyd
