It's the first time in my trading career that I experience that. I'll know for next time. Thanks So much, I was really looking forward to trade that. Had I understand that it was the locked limit...

I got ****** hard last year or two years ago when the Canadian gov changed the law for trusts. I then felt betrayed by them for sending all the things 30% down overnight. Many oldies lost a big chunk of their retirement there. Let the markets rule themselves. If we short and it's dead cheap...

When I saw the ES froze at 1268 I did not understand what was going on. I did not know the limit was cancelling at 9:30 on futures. There was 13000 on the bid and I thought that was a computer malfunction so I opted out doing opening (no real FV without the ES anyways). I'm, sure it would have...

1 short fill on 2 layers. +0.17 average. Back on positive for the month. Very small list today. Hopefully full tomorow.

If my understanding is ok it's like it was a month or so ago on C, JPM, MS,... and to me this was even better for us. I remember having good results on financials.

Still widenned the envelope and cancelled 50%. 1 long winner, +0.66

... grades at school, money on alcool, sleep, almost a job, mental sanity ... But man I'm stronger and happy. Still in the process and don't have any problem with that. What we say is "I went too far in it to quit" lol

Still widenned the envelope and cancelled 50%. 7 fills, 6 longs, 1 short, all winners (2 mostly flat). +0.09 average.

Cancelled 50%, played a larger envelope. 10 fills, 3 longs, 7 shorts. 7 winners, 3 loser. + 0.08 average. Decent day.

Forgot to mention. -0.17 on average. Just made a small modification to my program to help prevent such bad results. Perpetual evolution.

Wounded. 9 fills, 8 longs, 1 short, 7 winners, 2 losers. One loser on big volume for me that killed one month of profits. Worst day so far, by far. Nothing really I could do. Don, I also almost became an investor in GE, :p

1 fill short. +0.15 average. Small list today.

A bad one. 3 fills short, 2 winners, 1 loser. -0.28 average. Lost a lot on TRA. Should have close it at a loss but waited, my fault.

Did you ever asked yourself the following questions? What if I lose power at 9:29? What if I lose my internet connection at 9:29? What if my computer crashes at 9:29? There is a lot of sketchy situations. When you do that on a large scale you need some backups (battery, alternative...

5 fills, 1 long winner, 3 shorts winners, 1 short loser. +0.28 average. My best day so far on a cash basis (still on small volume). Cancelled a whole lot before and all the remaining at around 9:31. Some new that never filled before.

We might get some action Monday morning, as we got last Monday. Does that mean we should take FRE and FNM out of our lists? Good luck everyone!

2 fills, 1 long winner, 1 short loser. +0.02 average. Tried to hold to the loser but was very stubborn. Looking at the daily chart and the way it was sticking above xx.39 made me close it. I almost at the time to look at the financial statements at that point, lol.

2 fills, 1 long, 1 short, all winners. +0.04 average. Could have been much better.

What I do is looking at the S&P futures (ES) and also at the prices that gets printed and the orders, bid/ask sizes... If the ES is climbing I might hold a flat long but if the ES goes down I might get rid of a flat long. With one position it's doable but with over two I can't really get...
