    Yikes... me a standard??? :eek: For what? Benchmark for futility perhaps. :p I went short on WFC because the market was weak and WFC was hanging around it's previous day low. But the market firmed up (it is that spy in my computer telling the others what my position is ) and I had...

    One fill GDT scratch .00 In other trading... Struggling... Can't hit my ass with a bass fiddle. Got back into GDT cause it looked to be setting up long and the market was beginning to trend up. Naturally, the sellers came in to chase me out. Later it took a quick jump. GDT...

    Ho hum.... No fills on the open. I am not going to reduce my envelopes just to get fills. I believe there is a threshold beyond which, you get as much random movement as anything else, and lots of adverse fills in that area. And in other trading. No green..... WM -.03 BP -.08...

    Ke..rapp, Routing went down at the open, with a bunch of opening orders out there. That is 2 significant problems this week. :( :( :( Tough to trade if we can't route orders. And somebody asked me why I wasn't trading more size than one and two lots. Gotta be...

    Oh boy....... No fills, thank heaven........ Echo servers went down again or something... couldn't route any orders, couldn't cancel any orders.... Thankfully, I had canceled my shorts prior, and had a wider envelope anyway. But I was sure stuck in some long side OO forever...

    No echo problems, but the opening sure sucked. ABS -.03 SWY -.12 LMT -.10 TSN +.16 RTN +.09 Always somebody there to take away any profit... :( My own trading wasn't any better. FRE +.09 VZ -.03 PEP -.03 PEP -.03 Nothing acomplished but commissions and bullets.

    Caught a break today ( I guess). Again, I caught myself putting in several hundred DAY orders... :eek: So, I just had time to cancel them all before the open. Then..... Echo doesn't have any chart data at the open. AGAIN..... So, I guess my angel was on the job today.
