Not being able to close your positions - how is this not a deal breaker for you guys?

@Brendon, I agree with @onosendi comment. Having troubles to close a position can be very dangerous.

Can you please explain how you handle it?

Hi, 

Thanks for your reply.

No I'm in real.

But I've just changed my button configuration, from ASK LMT STOP +0.05 +0.00 to ASK MKT +0.05.

Do you think those settings are correct? 

[Introduce Yourself!]

Hello everyone,

First of all I am delighted to join the community.
French, born in 1981, happy in marriage and happy father of a son born in 2015 and a little princess just born in July 2018.
My goal is quite simple: to get out of my job full time. Engineer in civil engineering I manage daily complex construction projects. It is interesting but I do not wish to make a career in this environment.
I trained in swing trading for a year, without losing or winning fainal. As the markets are more and more unstable I prefer to evolve towards intraday trading.
The US market opens at 3:30 pm in France in full working day and in the evening I have my family life. I have my Tuesday afternoon to trade quietly from home, the rest of the week I trade from a small laptop as soon as possible connected to the internet of my mobile phone.

 

The challenge is very difficult. But I'm a fan of this quote: "They did not know it was impossible so they did it".
I take all your advice and I wish you a very green success!

[My Review on Trade Zero]

Hello,

Thanks for the review. Seems to be a nice alternative to DAS.

Do you have marketable limit orders with Tradezero please?

Hello, Is DAS really faster than IB TWS?

As a beginner i'm using TWS but most of my trades are filled few ticks up than the price is when I press the hot button.

For exemple, bid/ask price is 49.98/50.00 and my buy hot button is LMT ask + 0.05 (like Andrew), my order will be fill at 50.00 + 0.03 = 50.03 (or 50.05) which make a big difference on quick trades like Andrew does.

Do you guys have notice that ?
