7 fills: 3 small wins and 4 about even for about 240USD net Chiguy: how do you have a system that calculates a possible outcome, didyou trace the times and sales manually or you have autmated systems. Because if for example your system use a trailing stops, it is hard to tell at what prices...

MM, do you have systems available for tradding stocks also? Thanks

Once I heard fr a friend attending your bootcamp, that Bob or Tammy were doing like 30K - 50K shares in big cap like TWX, GE. Is is true? I always wander how would you get out of poistions except having somebody on the floor. Sometimes, I see quotes from other exhange offering better prices...

Is there a consensus of whether the posted PnL gross or net if not stated?

I am reading this thread with interest regarding Diamond TRim filter 40. I had problem to follow the link which was posted before. It just brings me to Trade Ideas with blank page and a button for manual refresh. I am not a subscriber yet to Trade Idea. Can I still see the description and can...

don: did you make money on WMT? If you are short on open then you had to withstand 13 cents shakeouta and held on more than 5 minutes.

9 winners, 3 losers and 2 flat for 1400. Should have held on PFE and PEP.

mostly nasdaq GUYS, BUT few guys exclusively trade NYSE are as good. The best ones are still Nasdaq guys. They rely on Bloomberg news for breaking news. Sizes depending on stocks and news, for NYSE could be 4,000 - 20,000 shares on big cap stocks like PFE, MO when they had breaking news. But for...

Has anybody who use OB also make use of LQ (liquidity Quotes)? LQ seems more accurate sine it reflects orders from the floor and specialist interest and is avialble to be executed for the size and qty availbale. But my understanding is that only big insitution can use this. From NYSE sire, I...

Very insightful and interesting discussions. Thanks Lescor and Limitdown. It is good to hear both sides of the stories. I am an OPG trader (mediocre one) and still have hopes to excel with this strategy but limitdown comments made me more cautious to increase my size and becoming too...

Mschey, My loss was worse over 10 G at one time but I held on on some crazy HMO stocks that rebounded nicely, Futures was not really cooperated , it bounced from the low but not by much the started to fall again yesterday. Made a little back today 2000 gross and about 1600 Net. Still feel...

Down 7000 USD on 200K shares. I have been suspicious something ws wrong since yesterday that I received too many fills on the long side and also significantly higher fills than normal. I think I found out that I put the fair value as -3.1 as supposed to + 3.1.

I had about 40 fills, and only 1 or 2 shorts, which made me worried that something was wrong with my calculations/orders. Then quickly tried to reduce exposure by closing most of the positions or placing slingshots all overs. After all is done about 150,000 shares and net of USD 200. Not happy...

Okay day: 9 winners, 5 losers and 3 flats up about 500. Hi, DON: what happens to you ? Havent seen your post for sometimes now. Hope everything is allright with you. Just found out that the other day when I got too many fills, apparently in one of my basket orders, the limit OPG orders...

Too many fills that I can handled. 10 losers, 21 flats (under 20 USD) and 7 winners for a loss of 700 USD

15 fills: 5 losers and 15 winners. Good balance of longs and shorts

Probably it is the end of Month adjustment. I got too many fills to handle and just scrambling my way to get out. 19 wins, 9 losses, about +2K net on about 120000 shares. I have been thinking about geting out strategy in hectic market and having lots of positions. One way would be to sort...

Gapster: Interesting threads, I also do this on NYSE stocks because I only trade listed stocks. However, oftentimes the movement is not as big and also once you miss the opening print (meaning that you need to send order pre market and just guessing the direction), the specialist often will...

It's been okay so far. Yesterday 1700 and today 250. Does anybodyelse notice that the opening has been quite volatile this past few weeks. I only use not even half of my normal size due to bad result last time and still worried but the swings in profit and loss has been double or triples...
