Down 500 USD with lots of fills. Friday and today , I expected to get good result but so far very lackluster. Hope the new rules wont take away the edge for openings. Will remain to be seen in the nest few days

Nothing day as predicted by Lescor. Basically up net for about 100 USD on 50,000 shares. But CNBCreported that volumes is significantly above average today for NYSE so far... I have never check the Opening Imbalaces when selecting my OPG. Do people use imbalance also to place OPG? And if you...

Thank you NYSEProTrader and Chiguy. Get ready for the Friday... then.

Is this Friday an option expiration week? Is is triple withching? Can anybody tell me where Ican find info about the expiration date? Thanks

3 losers and 4 winners for net of 350.

good day: 30 fills for 100,000 shares. Net of slightly over 2G. Lots of actions on Oil stocks and made good chunk of my profits

Don, do you have any explantion for days like this? It seems that all Spec from different stocks did the same thing and they know that this was going to happen (conspiracy)? Or is it like program trading from big boys? Also, on roll overdays like this do you use the old month or new month...

Wierd opening really. Slowly got more and more fills but it was steadily building positive PnL. Learning from previous similar day, I tried hard to be patient and still not too greedy. Lots of Fills for about 7G net on 120,000 shares. I came a little late and had to rush and not sending some...

I actually found out something interesting these few quiet days. By using BRUT and ARCA and designate them as PROACTIVE, I can hit these non-NYSE quotes. Also, you can use SIZE and hit this regional quotes. But the interesting questions is whether BRUT and ARCA proactive would also be able...

Yeah, lots of stocks were wild this morning and gave no chance at all. Bad day for me with lots of fills ,... need to check my spreadsheet if I screwed up something, havent done so yet. 6 losers, 15 flat (up or down less than 50USD) and 3 winners for a net of - 500USD. Shreddog, what...

I experimented a bit between taking Liquidity vs placing limit. When we want to get out bad , the result is almost the same. WHen you place limit order, and the stock is moving unfavourably, it seems that the specialist still holds my order and then would print the limit order together in the...

7 fills (only 1 big winner and others are small winner between 12- 90USD) for about 400 net. Oil stocks are interesting today, nearly all gapped up but some would make nice OPG plays while others would keep going up before turning (which in my case would bie big whck to my PnL). I chose not...

They both use the same backend, so if one is down the other will be down too

mksunny, what is OES? when trading NYSE stocks, can you execute at regional exchanges such as Boston, Philadelphia etc? A great thread, very inspiring... Thanks

Another great opening in news stock. It is GM today, 50 cents move before stalling...Good result: 8 winners and 1 losses for a net of 1100. Liquidity is terrible on some thin stocks e.g. EAT yesterday second print is immediately 24 cents out of the money. Spec is playing a game?

On a serious note, I saw guys in my office made real good money SHORTING MRK and PFE before the market opens and then covered and in fact went long right after open. I made some money on the long side frm the OPG but the real meat is from shorting preopen and place OPG order to cover shorts. I...

Yeah, really it's a crap shoot, sometimes big win and other times big whack. SO, best thing to do is to see if you are in good luck streak or bad luck streak... and bet accordingly. Did you have experience to work in the floor Chiguy?

great opening today on PFE, MRK and few others

Hello: I am a puzzled to read this times and sales information especially with regard to NYSE stocks. Using Esignal times and sales window, we can see that there are various exchanges participating in the bid/ask and prints. For examples: PSE PHIL and another one THRD. Does anybody...

I placed a short order at 09:24 for FCS and stock open on an uptick at my limit price. I file an inquiry and they got back saying that there are orders ahead, nothing is done. My question is are we entittled for a fill or the specialist can decline our orders based on reasons such as above...
