I am Canadian. I trade Canadian mutual funds using core
trading techniques.
What is FT?
I do not understand why you group ETFs with mutual funds
rather than with stocks. Sure, an ETF is a basket of stocks like a mutual
fund, but, the similarity ends there. They can be
traded like stocks. Mutual funds on the other hand, at least in Canada, are
valued only once per day and therefore require a different trading approach
(my opinion).
All Canadian mutual funds have in their prospectus that they
can charge a 2% short term trading fee for holds less than 90 days. Is
this the same in the states? If so, how do you actively trade around a rule
like that?

thought I was the only guy trying to trade Mutual Funds and ETFsusing
MS. Most fundtimers and -traders use FT and are at their

appropriate for funds.You don`t want to teach, but any gross
indication which methods youprefer for funds (maybe different from
stocktrading) ?Regards --- In
