Wrong! <<< my cramer imitation.

I am sorry, David, but you are mistaken.

If you want to sell a stock you will get the bid price, your limit order will never fill if it is above the bid unless the bid comes to it.

On the other hand while a stock is churning against resistance I can offer out and make a sale on the ask.

So if we are both using limits at the identical price. I will get filled before you every time. And some times I will get filled and you will not and you will miss the exit.

Same idea applies to buying.

Sure some trades it wont make a difference, but many entries and exits will be compromised.

You are experiencing slippage. You just didn't realize it.

Don't shoot the messenger!

good luck
