    Don's openings Part 3

    Shocking if anyone loses today playing this strategy. My OO's won 4 out of 5 games on the week. Wish my intraday trading had been as effective. Today was like stealing. +28 +43 +47 +28 +46 +6 +1 -5 NET after commissions for total of $1.94. Best OO day I've had since starting back in...

    Don't use the order dialog box. Make sure you have the time in force displayed on your order line, and just use the drop down menu.

    In that instance you can be filled on an unchanged open. I don't think you can ever be filled short on a down open.

    Don's openings Part 3

    "i leave my short oo orders so that the stock must open up for me to get short.im not sure if this is the right thing to do but is most comfortable for me." If the stock opens lower, you cannot get a fill because of the uptick rule.

    Don's openings Part 3

    Did that many of your stocks open up or unch on an uptick? You would not have been filled on all of the ones that opened above your sell level unless they were opening so. On large down openings I just leave all the sell orders at the previous close. I got two shorts today, and they both...

    Don's openings Part 3

    Just having fun. Sometimes I try for an indecent number. "If we take 15cents as being a decent number number to exit a winner, (I understand that with multiple positions it's hard to keep track of things, so you might aswell take the 15cents you've got rather than trying to "finesse" 6...

    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    I think that a lot of posts since Don started the thread have pretty much proven that the technique works. That being said, there has been a lot of discussion of the effect of a lot of people using the techniques on the same stocks. If you post your results, there is always a response, or...

    Any thoughts on this article?

    such a leftist rag. Home to leftist movie reviews. Leftist fiction by the likes of John Updike. Leftist photographs of the WTC disaster by Joel Meyerowitz. Leftist propaganda by the likes of John McPhee about geology. Extremely leftist profiles of Afghani warlords, a great left slanted article...

    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    haven't posted the last couple of days because profits have been pretty small, although haven't had a losing day either. Today, a little different. +22 +20 +37 +22 + 11 -3 +9. 6 winners on 7 fills, 4 short 3 long (nice when they are mixed like that) Netted $1.18 - best OO day for me since starting.

    I first heard of RS in the early 90's. He sent in several missives to a newsletter called Commodity Trader Club News which was published by a guy named Dave Green. It was sort of a knockoff of Club 3000 news. THis guy sent in these mysterious letters about what a great trader he was and...

    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    Die, thread, Die!!!!!!! seriously, I have tried to be a lttle circumspect about comparing notes on which stocks are working or not. I think everyone should do their own due diligence and backtesting. The most liquid names, it probably doesn't matter, but some are certainly going to be...

    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    4 wins out of 5 fills. Net of 67 cents after comish. The loser was SGP which I am beginning to dislike- it flushed down 19 cents from the open, got out about half way back, lost 12 cents and it went straight up another 43 cents from my exit. Coulda been 5 for 5 pretty easily.
