Total of 26 orders, got 2 fills with both winners. Average winner of ca. 45 cents, and net profit of 810 bucks.

15 orders, 6 fills, 2 winners, 4 loosers, but net results shows more or less that I scratched for the day. Best of the day MMM where I made 44 cents, worst trade was MU where I lost 30 cents. Should have seen it coming, looked strong and the spoos taking off didn't help either.

15 orders, 2 fills, 2 winners. (though one small).

15 orders, 4 fills, 1 big winner, 1 small winner, 1 scratch (+6 cents), 1 small looser (-7 cents). Worst trade of the day: scratching HIG and cancelling MU before open. THAT would have been a different story. But what the heck, still profitable:)

First, let me post yesterdays action: AIG-small looser NKE-small looser CAM-small winner As you see, not a huge day, in fact down but only 100 bucks. Tuesday: Got a ton of openings, 4 winners and 3 loosers for a profit of 400 on 800 shares each. Don, I have started to adjust...

Had only one opening today but good enough since it was an ok winner, SBC long that was. Good weekend everybody, in additon thanks to all of you that makes this thread worthwhile:D

Don, excellent laid out! So many times we see these shake outs, but in terms of a mental stop loss what do you think is appropriate under those circumstances? BTW, had 2 long winners and one short loss today. The latter one was CAM which in retrospect I should have avoided since the oil price...

No openings today, but from my watchlist OMC and STM would have been nice ones. See ya tomorrow.

MU- Like it short, have a negative stat long on this one TXN- N/A IBM- Pretty decent both ways, can be volatile and wide spread when moving AOL- Ask Don:-) LLY- don't like it MRK - never traded it SGP, BMY, PFE- never traded it JNJ- Weird stock, never use market order on it BAC- one of...

2 winners and 2 scratch. Average winner 25 cents. But here are all my action this morning: BAC, long 60, exit 60, SCRATCH EDS, short 50,15, exit, 59,90, WINNER PX, long 56,60, exit 56,85, WINNER CAM, long 40,70, exit 40,68 "scratch" Total net 300 bucks on 800 shares each, using .5...

Have had a different provider of lines to my office so I haven't been able to do the openings as usual. I'll be up and running tomorrow. But from my list the following openings would have been nice today: JNJ, PG, EDS, YUM, IGT, UN (small), CCU, and only looser on my list was EP. Enjoy!

Look at CAM, trade of the day except I scratched it, was long BTW!! Otherwise got 50 cents in Minnesota

3 winners, 2 loosers, 1 scratch. Average profit on each trade 6 cents, still exiting the good ones to early.

Don, I try to vary my envelope and size on the opening depending on the stock price and volatility. Let's say I trade MMM which is a fairly volatile high priced stock, I use a .5 envelope on it besides only doing 600 shares where as my "normal" entry should be 1000 shares. In addition, .7...

6 fills on 15 stocks, 3 winners, 2 even, 1 looser, average size 800 shares, net 250. Still not letting real winners go, but at the same time I do exit loosers asap.

BTW, regarding the discussion on automated stops and exits, since I left that approach and instead started reading the tape profits have risen accordingly, seems like you are right on the spot on that one Don. My first attempt included taking profits or losses 25 cents from entry, but didn't...

Don, Got 3 fills on 15 today, but scratched all of them. MMM I had 20 cents in and should have gotten out in that vicinity, too slow to move so it went back to open. But kept on going 40 cents above that so my exit in retrospect was ok. The two others should in theory been a looser and a...

Two fills today, monday. AIG, long at 72,35, exit at 72,49 (look at the chart after 72,49, ugly!) WINNER HON, short at 34, exit at 33,85 WINNER (early exit, huge potential) Keep the info coming guys, great discussion on this thread.

No fills today, even with a .4 envelope. 26 orders on 13 stocks, looking forward to monday. Back to my intraday spreads, later

2 fills today, one winner and one scratch, respectively 20 cents and 2 cents in profit for an average of 11 cents per trade. Take a look at AIG and see why I am glad I covered it early:)
