(I've taken this quote from the Today's Racing thread to one side because it might spark some off topic debate.)
I've often heard this (above) said by you and others, but aren't you ever tempted to take a price rather than make an offer if you're 'pretty sure' of a move? I might be laughed at for saying that but I missed the lesson says it would break a cardinal rule.
Does that 1 tick really make that much difference, especially if you miss a few good moves?
Doesn't your big offer, if anything, cause the market to move away from it, and to get it filled would require a fair amount of money in the wrong direction?
Perhaps it's just that there's a time and a place for one approach over another?.
What am I missing ? I'm guilty of grabbing a price rather than making an offer quite regularly, but the more I see comments like yours the more I think I ought to stop doing it.
