FULL DESCRIPTION
What exactly is slippage?

Slippage is where you put in an order at a certain price and the stock moves too fast. So your order is executed at a different price. That’s bad — it costs you money. That’s slippage.

You have two choices when you put in an order: market order or limit order. If you've read my book or seen my video lessons and DVDs, you know I never like to use market orders. But I’m curious how many of you use market orders...

I use limit orders. But what if you're trying to buy a stock and it goes too high? What if you're trying to sell a stock and you put a limit and it blows right through it ... what do you do?

How do you cut losses quickly when the stock is moving too quickly? You have to prepare ahead of time.

Too many people are too aggressive. You have to use specific limits. If you're willing to miss a trade, that's actually a good thing. That can make you more conservative.

If you're trading a very volatile stock, you need to anticipate that the stock could blow through your limit. And you need a backup plan. You need to take your emotions out of the equation as much as possible… preparation is key.

I think about the other stocks and how they can impact my play. Often times you have these days where all the morning spikers just fail for whatever reason, and you have to accept that.

I change my order to a limit so that I can protect myself. I'm just trying to lock in the gains. Remember to think big picture. Focus on capturing the meat of the move, not just the money you could potentially make. I like to play it safe.

There's no one right answer about limit orders. You have to judge what the market is doing and what you think this stock will do. Then put in your best guess. Make an educated guess based on your research.

Always have a plan. Consider the different options. It does get easier over time and with lots of practice. Experience pays the most — keep learning.

Do you use market or limit orders and why? What’s the worst slippage you’ve experienced? Leave a comment below!
