11 fills, 5 winners, 6 loser, 10 shorts, 1 long.
Would have been one of my best day but my program failed to send the take profits so I had to unload all that manually and finished at a loss. -0.02 average.
No fills today, well, I did not manage to send the orders. I had a message saying there was problems at the exchange. Anyone else had the same problem?
I haven't been doing it for long enough (4th month I think now) to be confident that my ROE means anything. And I'm still on small volume.
I think Don said somewhere that % are meaningless because there is so much leveraged involved and I would agree with that. It's all about the $$$ and that...
This would not use the opening of the NYSE specialist so it's not a real opening strategy. It's more a strategy that you could backtest and automate like millions of other ideas you can get.
My spreadsheet froze (I once again did some untested modifications, lol) so I did not have the auto take take profit this morning :(
9 fills, 8 longs, 1 short. 3 losers, 6 winners. Flat on average. Could have been worse.
"Goldman Sachs analyst recommends shorting shares of Citigroup because of loan exposure"
Wow, I did not thought this was possible. Analysts knows what short selling is :eek:
I rarelly let myself into humorous fluf when trading is involved but I think this is decent and worth a look. I'm in no way involved with the company that did it, in fact I did not even had a look at their website.

I have a hotkey on my keyboard (the spacebar actually, cant miss it!) that I can use if something smells bad. That cancells all remaining orders. But yes, severe injuries can be made before hitting that thing.
