tausigs, How did you become a financial analysis without being required to be licensed? Just curious

Thanks. i usually have my orders in by 25 after. I'm not automated so I don't think I could change them fast enough.

What does everyone use to calculate the premium O/U FV? The SP 500 futures contract or the e mini's? I've been using the S&P. Appreciate any help on ths. Thanks

I have 12-14 stocks, good balance. use 12 a day. It seems the SS on the stocks I'm using haven't followed the hopeful path the last two days. Hopefully it's a minor setback.

Rafycur, Had the same problem yesterday. got nailed by FRE same way. In fact yesterday I lost 4 out of5 OO's. Had to small of an envelope. Today I changed my upper envelope. Wanted to be atleast .20 above yesterdays close. Kept me out of 2 losers today, FNM and FRE.No fills on the buy side...

Shortee, I thought the same thing but if you look close at the time and sale, TXN opened on the NYSE at 33.50 or so. Straight up from there. The first couple of prints were Nasdaq. Regards

2 fills today. one short, one long. Both positive. +20 each Got to hold the wiggles better. Envelope was .8%

Don, or anyone else with 3 years experience doing Openning's To pick up a discussion from another thread. Does your strategy change much during the summer months for OO's? Is the success ratio the same? Thanks

My thought was it would reverse, but didn't have the balls to hold for it. It did eventually print 64, but could have gone higher also. I don't like to stay in OO's that long. I don't know, if they start to print more than 5 times above or below my open print, I get nervous. Should have...

You nailed Edge. Got filled on 2. but one was EDS. Wouldn't fill me until he showed .90 on the offer. Eds was go to me last week. Payback Back at it tomorrow

8 orders 2 fills both positive(+10, +17). Thought about MRK also but held off. Don, what happen on the order imbalances. Did things play out as you hoped? Thanks

mgkrebs, Just curious, your previous post listed your wins/losses. You said you made .10 on GM, but you don't show any wins of .10 today. Was GM real or hypothetical? Thanks

Thanks guys. Today was interesting. When I saw the cnbc number at programtrading.com they showed -17. I knew that wasn't right so I used HL Camps. Well, I got filled on 4 of the 6 open only orders I put in. (2 W and 2 L but net positive). Although I think it had more to do with the strength...

I've looked at the historical data on programtrading.com. It appears they never have a negative fair value number. Sometimes the cnbc number is negative. Do they ever report negative numbers for fair value in program trading?

Don, What if the firm is charging the trader the monthly fees but not paying the exchange. How would you know you were in jeopardy? I don't believe traders at Bright pay their fees direct. You pay for them correct? If you don't have knowledge of this scam, can the sec fine or strip an...

Don, I think if you look at the date of Robs post, it was before he was at Echo.(2/01) I believe also he was implying you keep the 25% until the end of the year. Just want to make sure you understood this was not a recent post, or thread for that matter.

Don, What are your thoughts regarding single stock futures and their impact/opportunities in using them for trading equities. I got to believe there will be opportunities in the beginning. One will have to lead the other. Thanks

Don, Did the rule change? No more than 6 months ago one of your managers said bright keeps 25% until the end of the year. You're saying this is not true now? Thanks

Don, So if my balance for 3 months avg. 25k and the first 15 days of the 4th month I make 10k, I can withdraw the whole 10k. In other words, a trader can withdraw 100% of their monthly earnings as long as they stay above your 15k min 25k avg. Correct?

Stock777, That's some funny shit. Good one
