Passed the following trades, was not totally confident; AEE/LNT MHS/OCR OEF/EWU (ETFs)

Away today.

IB. About 3$, 4 times 0.70ish on odd lots under 100 shares. No leverage. I trade very small size since I am starting here. The comish is a considerable % of the profit and would probably kill me in the long run.

No appealing on my screen.

Year review: I have been playing OPG for a year now. Played 191 days. 383 longs, 374 shorts, 574 winners, 186 losers. +0.044 average per share. 76% winner. 4% average fill rate. Still on small volume. So far it's not worth my time. Consistent but I would have to play much bigger size (like...

April monthly review: Played 16 days. 23 longs, 39 shorts, 39 winners, 23 losers. +0.04 average per share. Lower % winner with the use of stops as expected. Slow month in profit. 4 days make the month. Not an easy one.

No fills. Cancelled about 50%. A little larger on longs.

Closed the trade in the first minutes. Once again at half profit target. Covered ACE @ 47.10 Sold AXS @ 25.27 Net +1.95% profit from a target of 5.82%.

Do you want to do some hedging with physical corn and wheat?

New trade: Short ACE @ 47.13 Long AXS @ 24.66 Target ratio 1.8 (5.82%)

Numbers in () are negative. Some kind of accounting or something else convention.

lol, the Jesse Livermore of sport betting. Smart idea.

As for the PTF, having build my own system from scratch all by myself, I can tell you it's a real bargain price for such a specialized product.

Took profit of 0.43% on a target of 1.19%. Covered MDY @ 100.26 Sold VO @ 44.47

2 fills, 1 long, 1 short, 1 winner, 1 loser, -0.03 average. Cancelled 50%. Dry.

Wouldn't it be faster to change the numbers manually in the order row? That's what I do. Also, you can program a shortcut key (easy to set up). Suppose I have 500 shares (my default being 200) and I want to close it all. I select the position row with the mouse, hit the "c" on the keyboard and...

1) Why use a ticket in the first place? 2) Use Medved Quote tracker or Ninjatrader 3) Prices update 3 times per second or more I think. When I hit it's almost instantaneous. I have trades with a program (Excel spreadsheet) that get's in and out in less than one second roundtrip. I dont get it.

One new trade: Short MDY @ 99.45 Long VO @ 43.87
