    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    So far, the "other guys" don't have any bullet alternatives, or at least I am not aware of any. I suppose conversions are still "in", at least for now, but I don't have any one stock I like enough to get a conversion on. This has pushed me even harder toward going back to Nasdaq stocks...

    Jheesh... I turn my back for a bit and look what you guys let happen.. Lack of bullets will probably make my life tougher. I do a lot of shorts and I have been using bullets on almost all of them. Gotta wonder in who's interest it is to drive out the daytraders. My suspicion is that...

    I concur. Anything other than NYSE is totally worthless. You wouldn't need to bother and no one would care. You can start now. A year from now the NYSE only daily data would be VERY valuable. And again... WHY doesn't anyone else see this as a problem? I gues that is why there are so...

    I am curious as to why you don't think NYSE only daily data is not extremely useful. All it takes is one out of bounds tick on AMEX or an ECN to totally destroy a daily bar. I am surprised that there is not more of an uproar about this. Any scans and backtests of daily data is effected...

    Well Chuck, I hope so this time. We have been down this road before, with e-signal assuring me that this would be fixed. Thanks,

    So e-signal, With all this wonderful stuff, I'm impressed. I would be more impressed if you would fix a major flaw in your existing versions. The single letter stocks STILL have a problem with lack of data for the "X=N" ie NYSE only stocks. For instance requesting 5min chart data for...

    While it is good to have fresh air here, this breeze is playing havoc up in the hills. I just hope they get a handle on it while we still have some trees left. Just learning that the Navy had some heavy lift helicopters the wanted to use Sunday as the fire burned Scripps Ranch. The CDF...

    Thanks for the kind words... I think I was just grumpy this morning because I made a bad trade in FDC. I am logging on from work. I just went out to my truck in the parking lot. This smoke is unbelievabal. It is like late afternoon. I thought maybe we had cloud cover in additional to...

    Another day when I wonder what the heck I am doing this for. :( The market simply has my number, no matter what I try to do. Long, short, good setup, poor setup..... just ain't gonna get my move. I guess I am grumpy because I can't breath. The air is soooo bad. How bad is the...

    No open orders today. I am subjest to losing power any minute here, so I didn't want it to happen in the middle of OO. Tried BMY 3 times after the open, -.09 for my trouble. Had a lot of excitement here yesterday. The fires were very near my house, a couple of miles on 2 sides. But...

    Still feeling poorly so I didn't get up again today. After the open, tried to trade a little bit. CFC -.06 and glad to do so well.. Here was a case for eliminating the specialist. Had 10K showing on the book at .80, and a few above it. I thought CFC might be a bit overdone on the...

    faux pas = french for f***up :p Today was ever so blah. Have a real sore throat so I didn't get up in time for opening orders. Did make a couple of trades after the open.. WM short for +.06 Damn market went into several minutes of consolidation, so WM didn't move much. FDC...

    I totally missed the news in CE. Briefing.com doesn't have any mention of CE and FDCmerging .. AT ALL. Briefing is generally what I am looking at. If it is not there, I won't see it. Oh well, what do you expect for $9.95/mo... :)

    Didn't get much done today.. On OO, got: CE -.04 and that was that.... I saw sellers come in the book right away, so I knew it was going nowhere. Took myself out immediately. Good thing too. Look what happened. Newbies take note. Don't hesitate. If the signs say get out, then...

    I don't analyze the news, if something has any mention at all, it is gone. My experience has been that I lose much more than I ever make with news stocks, even seemingly insignificant news. CEO's wife gets another cat, stock opens up and skyrockets...... Good day here too. TXN .15...

    #@#!!#%$#@! Spent a half hour setting up my opening stocks, taking out the news etc, then Excel crashes as I get ready to enter my orders. I mean I turned the air blue with my reaction. There was a LOT of news to work through, then to have it all come to naught... as I said...

    Opening Orders ALL +.22 FCS -.04 Raven took me out both trades while I was engaged elsewhere. It helps to have a partner watching your back. Missed the move on BLS, saw it just a tad too late. KRB -.03 on three tries WM -.08 on three tries. Got faked out badly on one trade...
