I'm just starting my studying. I do appreciate a lot of the posts recently with links. I'm still going thru them, and learning a lot about charting. I will try not to ask any questions already answered in prior threads.I'm planning to start paper trading soon, and I have two questions regarding it.
1. When I start paper trading, I will be assuming that I can buy and sell the stocks I want at the market prices. How faulty is this assumption? Is it difficult to complete sell and buy orders?
2. Are trailing-stops effective? Will I find a buyer as the stock makes a downturn? Should I instead make a sell order a little below where I believe it will peak, and not take advantage if it goes beyond that?
I hope my questions are clear. Your responses are greatly appreciated.
