A question for everyone: I am a medium term trader (holding times of
0-30 days, typically). For people who trade in this timeframe, have
you found it better to enter with a limit order, somehow guessing where
low should be today (or in next few days) or is it better to enter at
the open once an enty is signalled. I know this is a very broad
questions, but any insights? I have tried a combination of popular
pivot calcs, linear regression of the lows/highs and lately, comparing
the rate of the trend with the average and SD of close-low (for a buy).
But the mkt often cares not about my schemes, and I get left behind. I
guess the real answer I need to test my signals with and without limit
orders for entries, if I can ever get the system coded. But if anyone
has suggestions for how to set limits or whether to use limits at all
(or sources discussing this), I'd appreciate it.
