You are correct and I thank you for the "lightbulb". I will do the same. I'm looking for issues that not only "play nice", but have the potential to move >.50 from the open. While wmt's atr(10) is around .80, it really isn't a mover in the sense that cat, mer, txn, hon and utx can be...

only took longs today, good thing too as mer would have killed me. wmt -.18 tried to bail at b/e but just kept going 1x1 and dropping hon +350.00 bailed on my trailing 500 at +.50 utx +80.00, this one is all over the place, it went up then dropped about .20, so I just bailed when it...

hon 500 +.20 and 500 at b/e stop cat 500 +.19 and 500 66.98 stop for at least 1 pt profit I've been lucky enough to have my trailing stop hit for 1 full point 3 days in a row, That accounts for basically all of my profit. I'm beginning to feel that the rest is just a churn and I need...

Bailed on my other 500 cat with 1 full point. I hope this trailing stop business continues to work (oops, I might have just jinxed it :) )

wmt -.20 mcd b/e xom +.20 on 500 +.24 stop on 500 cat +.23 on 500 a +.50 stop on 500 worst case should be up +200 net, although stops on cat can be bad

" or stay here and give it all back like i do..." I know what ya mean :)

lowered stop on mer and out at 69.45 for an $1100 day. I just doubled my profit for the year on oo. LOL

2 fills b/e on hon mer +.20 on 500, still in the other 500 with a stop of 1 pt profit, so the worst I should do today is about +$600

Chi...thanks. It sounds like as long as you stay with the same company, it shouldn't matter whether some cards are in different types of slots.

Thanks for the info. I do have 2 pci regular slots available. I will probably just get two pci cards that are exactley the same and put them in the pci slots. That should work, right?

"anyone got any ideas how to hold out longer...(insert joke here)...suggestions are welcome..." I'm bailing on half at +.10 and putting in a break-even stop on remainder. The markets have been, so whipsaw the first hour that it hasn't worked out great these past two weeks, but I haven't...

Quick question: I have an ATI Radeon 9550 256mb AGP card: If I want to put in another card for a 4 monitor set-up, must I put in another ATI Radeon 9550 256mb card for compatability purposes? If so, can I buy this card for a pci slot or will the agp card work in a regular pci slot...

2 fills long 1,000 utx 90.00 gross (lucky price improvement on exit). long 1,000 hpq 55.00 gross pulled sells on txn and xom due to news, yea they would have been winners.

Should read: Over the past 7 trading days, 6 times the S&P...... "Over the past 7 trading days, the S&P has closed within 10% of its' high/low (using the total range for the day). While looking at it on a daily basis, it looks like we have had trending days. "

Yes, it makes perfect sense. I just thought the way you phrased it at first was funny:) The "stay with it part" is something I'm trying to do more of. I'm looking to bail on half at .10 and IF I can get to +.15-.20, I'm entering a b/e stop. Unfortunately, over the past 4 weeks, the...

2 long: wmt and mcd net -$180 down about $400 for the week This might be my last month with the oo, I may start back up in Sept.

"YTD net is about $15,000. With the size I'm trading and number of stocks, I would expect about $7,000 per month on average based on the last few years results. My best week of the year was the first one, +8300. So I've basically been making peanuts since then. " It looks like you're up about...

chi, Thank you for the info. Yes it helps. I may start to add more issues trying to get more fills or fills on more issues that give me a chance for a "slingshot". Would you say you have been net profitable this year using the OO? How does it compare to 2005? Thanks

Net for the month of May was +30.00. I do 1,000 shares each of about 11 issues. I'm up about $1,000 net for the year. Is anyone making money (after commissions) using this strategy in 2006? If so, would you be agreeable to posting the total number of issues in your OO and the...
