[@Throwing_bullets]

hows your progress been since you've started? If you dont mind me asking

[@Boogie22ta]

Still trading?

[@Fm-ho8kc]

Thanks Ross! 03:00 that was the exact mistake I made first time with my limit order

[@willperez552]

Hey Ross. Just starting to get into day trading more seriously. You have helped me tremendously. Do you ever use a trailing stop order or just stop orders? Also, When you are trading pre market, do you still use the limit orders or do you use market orders pre market ?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Ross answers these questions and many more in his live webinars! If you haven't had a chance to attend yet, one of the best ways to learn how to get started with trading would be to join us in the next Warrior Trading webinar. The webinar is free to join, and you will receive a copy of Ross' best selling ebook "How To Day Trade" just for sticking around until the Q&A!

[@stevenpezzella7329]

Also, Ross I love your channel. I'm brand new to day trading, trying to be very disciplined and practical with my approach and expectations. I am trying to learn as much as possible, I was wondering if there were any reasonably priced books that you have read that you have found to be especially helpful? I am so new that even trying to get a grip on the basics seems overwhelming at times. I am certainly capable of learning material, and I know that there or no shortcuts, but I am trying to find the most methodical and didactic way to approach this. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[@jimr.4200]

I am still confused at the difference between a limit order and a stop order. If I have a stock at $100 and I want to sell it when it gets to $120, would I use a: A) Sell/Limit order/activation price = $120 B) Sell/Stop Market order/activation price = $120 Wouldn't they both accomplish this? If not, why?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

A limit order would be the right type of order to use here. A stop order for $120 would execute immediately. You can learn more about the difference between the two here: www.warriortrading.com/difference-stop-limit-order/

[@jeffpappas6442]

Thanks Ross. I bought a stock and gave it a .76 Stop loss. This morning I noticed that my stop loss was triggered and sold at .784 and the day's low price was at .78. Since the price got nowhere near my .76 stop loss level, I called my broker to ask why I got stopped out and he said that I got stopped out because the BID price hit .76. I'm fairly new to trading. Is this how it works; do I need to adjust my sell stop orders to compensate for the spread?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Hey Jeff, Actually, the stop should only execute once a trade takes place at the stop price. I would recommend double checking with your broker to learn exactly how the stop order functions in their software, so that you can learn how to prevent this in the future. Sorry about that!

[@jeffpappas6442]

I will do that. Thanks for the response

[@J_Cro11]

Hi Ross, I am very grateful for your education in "layman's terms. I have wanted to ask you about the " 1st candle to make a new high." Is that in relation to the previous candle or the actual high of the term/day? It sounds straight forward but when I view reference chart, I am not certain to what it relates to. Sorry about the length- I hope this helps a few others as well...thank you for your time!

[@DaytradeWarrior]

The previous candle, not the high of day

[@AlienYieldFarms]

Just to follow up, if a down trend reverses and confirms uptrend, the uptrend makes a new high at say 10$, wait for the pull back then when it pushes up to 10.05 that's the first candle to make a new high!

[@tedlakebede6906]

Hi Ross, can you please explain the difference between buying the ask vs. buying the market (i.e a buy limit order on the ask vs buy market order). Thank you.

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Hey Tedla, www.warriortrading.com/bid-vs-ask/

[@MK-University]

Most traders will use a limit order rather than a market order. It’s best to have a planned entry of say “$3.05” if the stock is say breaking past $3 very quickly so you don’t miss the entry point. If you just do a market order you may miss in this ex $3 and $3.05 and get a market order of $3.15 if not even worse depending on the movement of the stock. It can be okay to use a market order if you want to quickly get out of a stock ASAP. So if you didn’t set a stop loss then if a stock was shooting down quickly you could sell it at market value. But again it’s usually best if you go in with a plan. Planned entry, planned exit, planned stop loss, and a overall strategy / why.

[@DaytradeWarrior]

All great points, thanks for sharing!

[@MK-University]

Warrior Trading thanks! Just trying to pay it fw to help out as well. I’ve been through a lot on my own trading journey myself. 👌

[@fadzn9235]

Maurice thanks for the further explanation, just wondering if i placed a limit order cause i only want to enter the trade only when it hits $3.05 (not anything below) is this possible with this order type? or does it fill me in a any price below this up to $3.05?

[@youthised58]

Hi Ross, I’ve recently read your book, ‘How to Day Trade’ and found it very interesting and helpful. As a beginner (who’s just being introduced to day trading), is there any other book, or books your recommend reading to get a deeper understanding of day trading?

[@mexyaa]

Hello Ross, I just signed up for CMEG and I'm currently using Trader Elite Pro. What would you recommend as the best HotKey set up to catch and a stock right when a news Catalyst comes out before reflecting in the chart? -I want to set up my stock to buy 75% of my buying power if I find a great new like FDA Approval... - what would you recommend under the Price Drop down e.g Current, Market, Last, Bid, Ask -Destination: there's the Default, Current, ARCA, NSQD, NYSE, SMART, VELOCITY, and [Best]. what would you recommend as the best routing. Also, what would be the best set up to get out of a stock like that?

[@jackdelgado4213]

So what would be more beneficial for Day trading ?? Would it be limit order because every cent counts and avoid the risk of getting an order placed much higher than expected ?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Ross only likes to place limit orders so he never gets filled at a higher price then he expects

[@othercousin]

Nice. Short and specific. I've joined the pro group and am learning a lot. I think I'll be starting the simulator this week. Thank you for your no b.s. approach.

I used a limit order instead of a stop limit before...... was in a trade and didn't know because "my entry price was not reached and it tanked........ really hurt....... just a question if I may - your hotkey buy setup, is it limit? and what? Bid +5 or how do you set it up? Great Vid Tnx

Very helpful Ross. What is the best way to protect yourself when first triggering a trade? I’m guessing a stop loss triggers at your risk threshold ? And trailing stop would be good if your already up on a trade and want to ride it without losing profit ?

If you're already up on a trade using a stop limit sell order would be enough

[@olu3783]

Say current ask is 100 at 5.00, then 100 at 5.01, then 100 at 5.02 and I enter a buy limit order for 300 shares at 5.05, do brokers typically charge that as 3 orders or it still remains 1 order even though there may be 3 executions

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Hey Olu, you will only be charged commissions on one execution, even if you are filled in 3 hundred share lots!

[@Brad010581]

Hi. Do you use a mental stop loss during premarket, or a stop limit order? If I understand correctly, a regular stop loss order won't execute during premarket since it is a market order when triggered.

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Ross uses mental stop losses that he will execute with a limit order

[@vegitoblue4390]

LightSpeed couldn't sell while I had a limit buy, Cross-Orders 😕 never experienced that with TD, why is that and what is that, a way around it?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Sounds like you tried to have a buy order and a sell order out on the same stock before actually having a position on- This can be restricted on some platforms and you will want to contact your broker directly about their rules or restrictions.

[@granitebuilt5836]

If a stock was trending up and I set a stop limit price sell to maximize profit but it never quite reached that price and instead whipped downwards, would I need a second type of order in to minimize losses and not go too low before selling?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

If your limit sell price is not reached and you want to sell, you will need to send a seperate order

[@michaelpabon6930]

Ross, what happens to the remaining shares above the limit order that don’t get filled? Do those automatically get canceled or are you risking those to get filled later on?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Michael, Ross will usually cancel his order, he only wants to get filled as price moves higher.

[@theperpetualtrader476]

Hey Ross, why do you prefer to buy +.05 on the ask and not just use a buy stop limit with +.05 limit

[@DaytradeWarrior]

I don't use buy stops. I want to be able to watch the Level 2 as I place my order. A buy stop triggers only when the stop price breaks.

[@jamesdriscoll2478]

i wonder if you can set a stop limit and the .05 under you can set an order the sells the rest at market. like one trigers all or something. exp sell 2200 of you 3000 but that leaves you at 800 you can sell at .05 at market

Hey! Thank you!

[@wilfordthe4th422]

Why would you use a sell limit instead if a sell stop? Because when you put that limit order in the price could drop below it an u never get filled. When you place a stop it gets triggered when the price crosses that line. So wouldnt a stop order help midigate potential losses?

[@Rocky-lb4xn]

Hi Ross, May I know if you buy into dip, would you put limit order at bid price or put limit to buy in ask directly?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

I would use a limit order, I only use limit orders.

[@Rocky-lb4xn]

thx ross. So u place the ask directly right? If the move is too fast, wouldn't it be partial fill? So do you place the price higher then the ask to get the full fill? And also if u cut loss for fail break out, do you place the bid lower to get all fill. thanks .

[@XwoooahX]

Trying to decide between limit vs market orders for my trading. My fear is that my limit orders will not sell and then I will lose money because none were available in the price range when I wanted to sell then it will take more time to re-enter the order where if I just placed market order I would have been better off? Are my fears unfounded? Have you ever issued limit orders and had them not go through? What do you prefer to use and how to you know limit orders will actually execute?

[@simply-tom]

I just learned something new in regards to Market Order. I use to think it was the price the stocks are currently selling at...you know, that big price number next to the stock symbol. So whatever price it was at, that was the market price. Now I know that it might not be at that price because it's simply not available at that price and that it could be much higher. And also learned that even with Limit orders, you're still not guaranteed to get that price because of sudden drops. It's scary lol.

[@myvidlocker]

What are your thoughts about whether students should use trailing stops?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

I think stops for new traders are a good idea, but it can vary person to person.

[@JustinL600]

Do limit orders behave differently when entered with a hot key? I’ve noticed a few times, for example, I hit my hot ke once the current ask price is at 10.00, but sometimes I’ll watch the price shoot up without filling my order and then I get filled on a slight pullback at say 10.20. I have my hot keys set up to buy a limit at the current ask price but I sometimes get filled way above what I intended. Would anyone like to give their 2 cents?

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Hey Justin, no, limit orders perform the same whether entered through hotkey or manually. With that said, if you hit your hotkey to buy with a limit order the ask price could spike higher and you may get filled higher than you intended. The reason you get filled below your limit order when manually entering the price is because limit orders are designed to make sure you don't fill higher than the desired order price, but that doesn't mean you can get filled lower than your limit order price. I hope that helps!

[@andypat2006]

When you set your hotkeys to buy at ask, make sure you select market. This way you will get filled at current market ask price

[@Julian-mc2lk]

Hey Ross, how do you sell on the Ask without any price limit? Therefore the execution would be immediate and some slippage might occur. Have not found an order type like this before, as you know a Market Order sells on the bid

[@DaytradeWarrior]

hey! I use a hot key to do that, but it's a lmit order.

[@thedemiloving]

hey ross im still a little confused what type of order type do you use when day trading.. from my understanding(which could be completely wrong) you use market orders when trading but from the video it seems that's the one you don't recommend due to the chance of over-paying for it

[@DaytradeWarrior]

I use marketable limit orders. Limit orders above/below current price.
