  • What is your hold time for a stock?
    1 to 3 to 5 days

  • Are you a day trader? or a Swing Trader?
    Neither, I am a profit trader. I almost never set out to scalp a position during the day nor do I start the day knowing I will close all my positions before the close, but if the market wants to give me a good percentage move 20 min after I buy a position I will at least rotate 1/2 into my pocket, the same if it happens in 2 -3 days. I feel this makes me a PROFIT TRADER

  • What is your #1 indicator?
    That would be the Candlestick, combine that with the (T-Line/8ema) and the 34ema. combine those 3 indicator together and you will have powerful information.

    I use TcNet. TcNet is a very powerful program that in very easy to use. It is very easy to set up candlestick scans, you can even set up a scan for your favorite stock chart patterns.

  • I heard you say one time that you use a market order to enter a trade?
    Yes, that is true I only use market orders.
