    Don's openings Part 4

    Openings usually close out within 15-20 minutes. After that, I play setups based on overnight research and scans. Since I don't enter these positions until 10 AM EST, it dovetails nicely with the Openings. Setups usually last for about 2-3 hours until they're all closed out. Then it's...

    Don's openings Part 4

    2 fills, 2 winners, 29 cents net. I must credit Don Bright for one of those wins. I was short immediately on one stock, with the market moving lower very nicely. After it made some progress, I entered a buy stop about 10 cents higher. Usually I wouldn't do this, because common wisdom is that...

    Standardizing Trading Result Reports

    I think it would be beneficial if we standardized how we report trading results on EliteTrader. Every so often, someone will post that they made $1000, lost $800, etc. Unfortunately, this only tells us 2 things: 1. Whether they simply won or lost 2. How much their personal P&L was...

    Don's openings Part 3

    Today's fills looked promising (big gap down, long positions), but then the market went nowhere for a long time! This morning we had the Consumer Sentiment number at 9:45 EST. Does anyone have any thoughts about the effects on opening orders when there's a 9:45 economic number due out?
