A Warning Against Tight Orders and Small Profits

by John Gaines
Many new traders will place very tight orders in order to take very small profits. This is not a sustainable approach because although you may be profitable in the short run (if you are lucky), you risk losing in the longer term as you have to recover the difference between the bid and the ask price before you can make any profit, and this is much more difficult when you make small trades than when you make larger ones.
