I would say it is next to impossible to day trade and work at the same time. I try and get a look in the morning and then around lunch time. You can always put in orders based on what you are willing to pay. Although this market is just not made for holding. ROFLMAO - Rolling on the floor Laughing My A$$ off. BTW I am just giving Ken a hard time. Since I thought he was retired I assumed he just worked on his investments. Joe

First, I don't really day trade which is probably good because I don't have that fine sense of timing or a quick enough trigger finger. Most positions are for a day to a week. Some days, I can be near the computer most of the day and, others, hardly at all. Most days fall in between. My answer is limit orders and buy or sell stops to protect long or short positions when I can't give the market my attention. It can be done like this but you will miss opportunities and, sometimes, get stopped out of positions that you'd have held if you were watching the tic by tic action or not get the best price because you left a limit order.

Whitepaw98 I used to trade from my "day job", however, retired in July. Now, I have full time to trade and drive the wife nuts with either yeeehhaaaa's or "oh what the hecks". Welcome to our thread. As Joe said there are many amigos here...some that post all of the time and some that lurk. Looking at your bio, you have not been with SI for very long. Hopefully, you will do a lot of paper trading before commiting any money to this market. Feel free to add your thoughts on things, either good or bad. We are always open to new ideas. Ken
