This is terrible advice. if your slippage risk is such that you aren’t protected by NBBO you have absolutely no business on a retail broker of any sort. Meanwhile limit orders minimizes the most likely risk a retail trader has to overcome. Either you don’t understand the advice you were given, you were duped or you are trying to be duplicitous.

In any case, terrible advice to be repeating in the context of retail trades.

I don’t give any advice. I was probing to see the reaction . It is amusing to look at postings glorifying the pundits advice. They are not your friend.

Have you actually placed a limit orders? Do you practice this advice with your own $’s? Do you know how much taxes you pay for a trade considered day trading? If the limit order is executed same day it is considered day trading. What is the point then?

Why retail investors are penalted for that but hedge funds are not? Are you retail trader or on the other side of the table? If so why you are giving advice to retail investors? The motivations? When I used to follow the pundits “advice” they were always wrong - limited orders were immediately executed. These “fluctuations “ causing execution of limit orders are never reported in the historical data . I used to purchase historical data for thousand $’s and never found these fluctuations in the official dat I saw on the screen. Meaning you can never rely on historical data for analysis. If you had the same experience you would know. Learning from practice I’ve different way of making $’s.

I spent years writing HFT trading systems. I’ve built back testing systems that actually worked. I’ve been out of the industry for more than five years and every order I’ve sent since I left (all through retail brokers including RH) have been limit orders.

I’m going to guess that I’ve spent more time in front of a real market feed than you trying to divine how the orders are impacting the book but who knows.

All that said I’d love to subscribe to your newsletter and learn the secrets to why limit orders have a different tax treatment than market orders.

Also for the record market orders tell the market you have no price sensitivity. If your newsletter could tell me how that’s better for retail investors I’d appreciate it.

Got it , just an observer working for the establishment. Why you didn’t invest your own $’s if your algo is so good? Other peoples’ money I know. Is that a real job? HFT is a scam. What about naked short selling (hft by other name )? Making money out of thin air? Selling something you don’t own? You did the hft for that too? What about GME now? 1.8 million missing shares . What your algos will do to the market? Crashing it?

Now the hedge funds are a joke, no? They aren't buying 50 million shares at 30c, nor $100, nor $300, and that's their problem. You can do hft all in nanoseconds - nothing is helping them. PRICE DOESN'T MATTER

How hft algo is helping the hedge funds now? The market will be never be the same , no hft , no newsletters , no apps will save it .

And this isn't a financial advice.
