Trading Style

Email Excerpt:

In your managed accounts what time frame do you usually operate in, i.e., holding period? Having said that let me ask you if there a particular time frame you teach or is your material good for all time frames? I think by temperament when I do start trading I'll gravitate toward day trading.

Excerpt from reply:

I manage funds on several time frames, but daytrading in stocks is my favorite. I tend to take 3-6 trades a day on average and hold 30 minutes to several hours on most.

I use the same basic concepts on every time frame and security I trade, although intraday I focus more on momentum stocks and a lot of gap style plays. The building blocks I use are exactly the same though. I like these because on days when I'm busy I can come in 15 minute before the open and be done within about 90 minutes if I need to be and don't need to do as much for research afterhours....
