" I don't day trade illiquid stocks."

I guess from your first paragraph, you mean stocks that don't have a large trade rate for measure of time. I have always wondered what illiquid or liquid stocks meant to the average 100 to 1000 share trader. I have never seen total volume correlate with price movement or ability to exit. What are people using to measure liquidness?

Never having bought and with no plans to buy a Canadian stock, I suppose answer is addressed to the US market.

Yes, stocks that are not "in play" are a waste of time for trading purposes.

I know the 1 minute seems like forever, but it all depends when you start counting, I guess. It does feel *much* better to have the order executed when you click the button.
