    Opening Orders - 2008

    Its good to have indications back. Imbalances would be even better. Definitely a lot to sell today. Three fills all off indications. +2300 net. Definitely was more out there. Lescor?

    Need help with the C.F.A.

    CFA covers more topics than Series 7. It is more difficult although most of the subject material is not complex. The sheer volume of the readings is the hardest part to overcome.

    Need help with the C.F.A.

    http://www.analystforum.com/phorums I found this other website to be helpful. I just finished the program. I used Schweser to pass all three exams. The main thing is to make sure you know something about every topic. They like to test on everything.

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    I have basically made nothing since last month's big day. Today was a surprise. Big day for most of us I imagine. I also feel small compared to others but today I grossed $8900 on 65,400 round-trip shares. Everybody have a good weekend. I have to go work my day job now.

    I expect to see a lot of money from Lescor and MSchey today. I made 3k on 6 positions so they must have raked it in.

    Stating that new york would no longer be posting opening imbalances. What a rip!

    What "TIME" of the day do you trade Most often?

    I like the adreneline rush I get from 9:30 - 9:50, then the market seems to stop. I have to agree with this. I am in CA and I just trade the opening and go work an 8 hour job. The rush I get is a great way to wake up.

    Get them in by 9:28. Time priority should not be a big issue most of the time.

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    84,800 shares. Most positions 1500 to 2400 today. Only one greater than 2400. 21 fills. I guess I looked at indications on 80-100 stocks and threw some orders in stocks that I don't do every day.

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    I am on vacation trading from Tahoe on a dsl line. But I couldn't skip the openings. DSL is a little slow. Took a minute or two for my positions to hit. Too crazy to trade them just covered piecemeal. Gross $6K. Net 5000 to 5500. Probably a fraction of the big players but still feels good.
