Hi dt,
Your questions to Tom (above) reminded me of this earlier post of yours in which you make an interesting point. While many (most?) subscribers to the thread appear not to like your approach, I think it has merit.* However, it strikes me that one of the downsides is that while you're seeking value, you run the risk of only getting some of your positions filled. When the 'conventional' trader is all in at £2.00 p/p, you may only have a couple of your 20 limit orders @ £0.10p p/p filled for an aggregate of £0.20p p/p. If the market moves as expected then, all other things being equal, the 'conventional' trader will make ten times the profit you make on the same move.
Does that make sense!
Tim.
*For the record, I must stress this is my own personal view - I'm not endorsing it with my T2W hat on. Furthermore, darktone's ideas are not suitable for new or inexperienced traders - who are advised to always set stops on all trades.
