I am sorry if my post was misleading, but i am looking for more information than just opening fill and slippage (though of the up most importance). Plus with the amount of candidates that are showing up daily, i do not have the capital to buy 100 shares of each stock (today would have taken...

My spreadsheet pulls in earnings, upgrades and downgrades and flags the stocks in my list as such. Then i look at the sector level for any news and adjust accordingly. In the beginning (without the spreadsheet automation) it was an hour long process. Now it is about 10 mins. Sometimes stuff...

Yes. I am going to paper trading the whole month of May to get a feel for slippage and fill probabilities. Depending on how May goes and the statistics I collect i will most likely paper trade June as well.

How about a Manbearpig...half man half bear half pig. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManBearPig

Eh... 4 fills / 3 short / 1 long 2 wins / 2 losses -$570 Happy Friday. Next week will be better...i know because i sacrificed a pig as a offering to the Hybrid Gods.

Who am i fooling, i can't stay away :) . I had my envelopes to wide today though and it bit me (esp. GE). 3 fills / 2 short / 1 long 1 win / 2 losses / -$650

i am probably going to wait out the rest of this week for OO's because nothing is looking 'right' on my spreadsheet and i forced some trades yesterday and was clobbered so i would rather wait until things look 'normal' again before i step in.

I think OO's are great for beginners because if they teach anything it is how to manage your losses. Losses are blue collar and Wins are white collar.
