Good luck Huios, Seems like you are making progress. Just be an ice man when you throw that real money out there. (and that advice from the original John McEnroe of trading) :D

Sorry Uptick.. nothing here. Send me an e-mail..

Congratulations, Just keep a cool head and keep grinding... no greed.. no fear.. Be a machine.. :D I too would like to hear what seemed to turn the tide. I feel almost everyday that I am about to get "it". But so far.. no "it".

Did ok today.. still felt like I left money on the table.. but.... can't complain. BP .00 DOW -.03 ...dodged a bullet there.. :eek: YUM +.19 .. left money there MMC +.30 .. this was done ok, but still left plenty there for the rest of you..

Well.. Another kind of so so day. I had to cut it off early in order to go to the VA hospital and have my back surgery checked. Back is doing well, thank you for asking. I managed decent patence in my second KLAC short. Finally got something out of it. Should have re-entered around...

Dave K, How did you get filled in UPS? I don't see any gap. Today I was very rabbitty... jumped out quick. SLB +.30 ADP +.30 Can't complain..

Don, I was probably still trying to get a chart up on another fill or something. I do plan to let my OO run more than you do, so I haven't been putting in sell orders as soon as I get filled. Notice BAC didn't stay up there long. My difference in philosophy is because I have been...

I am a slow learner. Today I took MOST of the financials out of play, but left BAC on. My bad.. Also WB, but got off of it real quick. Slow to take a profit on PEP, wanted to give it a chance. Didn't want to go today. Market was too weak to let em run long. BSX got weak in a hurry...

More mismanagement by management. :( Held NVLS for quite a while, (an eternity for me), but finally jumped ship. Later NVLS made a real nice run. It never reached my stop, so...... a pox on me for being impatient. :mad: Did OK with the SPYs, not so good in the QQQs. Should have...

What a disaster. I have been tweaking my opening orders criteria. Picked a fine day to do the first run. I had changed my spreadsheet around quite a bit, and lo and behold, I messed up a cell. Started to get shorts and longs all over the place. Had an anxious moment (panic) when I...

Had the flu last Friday.. bad flu,.. thought I had anthrax. Didn't do much then or Monday. Didn't do much today either except for opening orders (see Don's opening orders thread for details of my a**kicking). Maybe tomorrow I do something significant.

I think I will add a little extra to the HI envelope. All these folks can't be wrong. :)

Did better today. Didn't overtrade and was patient. Almost made up for yesterday. :( Wanted to hold for better winners, but the action didn't seem to allow for it. Left a little on the table on the first trade though. Here are the charts

PS Do you think the specialist gapped HOT far enough today? I didn't think that the news was THAT bad. Would have sure liked to have gotten that opening. But, it was off my list because it did have some news. Any rules or observations about when the specialist gaps a stock "too far"...

Thanks Martin, Don. Still trying to get used to the "specialist system". I guess the specialist wasn't on my side today. :( Nothing wrong with HI. I got some out of it the other day. Market was just weak today, and HI wasn't going to swim against the tide. Learned something else...

Got 1 fill long.. HI. Action was no good so I tried to bail using NYSE+ ... AT THE POSTED BID. (I think it may have been a 1 X something bid) Well you know the rest..... thief specialist held the order for dang near a minute, then dropped the bid right away from me by .20. Got out...

500 mGZ Pentium III 4 gB hard drive 784 mB memory DSL (with cable backup) 3 + 1 monitors (2 machines) No problems, I often get filled much faster than I really want. (now why the heck did I just do that dumb move for?) Multiple monitors with good resolution is one thing you...

Yer doin' better Huios. Keep up the good work.

Interesting system you have there.

Did the NQ after the open. Spent most of the day thinking the market would retrace then go up. This resulted in 4 losers and 1 (short) winner at the end, to sort of save the day. Made me only down 12.0 instead of down 19.0. Will post a chart(s) later if I get the time. Gotta go study...
