All red on my side (3 opened), lol.

2 fills, 2 shorts, 1 winner, 1 loser, -0.25 average. Shaken out with wide slippage on one stop. It had to happen at some point. Did it revert back 2 seconds later, of course.

4 fills, 4 short, 4 winners, +0.08 average. Nothing more to get, well done. I now try to move my stops @ 2 cents profit as soon as I'm over 5 cents in profit.

What are the two stocks?

From what I know: CDS are traded over the counter with another party. Since the other party has to believe you can repay him a retail investor/trader is not a good party. Also, there is a question of size, you need all the legal setup to trade CDS so they do business when there is big size...

Just more risk and more reward if you play in the high vol deals. But you can get slaughtered on one deal if you dont have good money management.

Geez, did they take the idea from my chart? :cool:

Everytime your increase your position you also have to increase pour size in the options and I think this will be a huge cost. You most probably are gogin tot do this in periods of high vol also. It's a good idea though. Maybe a first draft that need some improvements.

One new trade Short EWW 26.26 Long EWG 14.18

10 fills, 1 long, 9 shorts, all winners, +0.11 average. 3rd best day since I started 10 months ago. The way I start to see it is that you have be be there waiting and protecting yourself from being hurth and from time to time the good days come. You will survive only if you can protect...

4.04 to 4.35 is only a 7% move, not double digit. Stocks that dont follow a rally are usualy weak stocks that are going to continue their decline when this sucker rally fades out. just some thoughts. Good luck anyways.

The way I read this for IB it they would simulate it on their server and send a market order when the stop conditions are met. I did not find any restriction for pit traded. I think the concept of a market order in pit trading is just not making any sense. You outcry, "who can sell me a...

How is that a hook up?

There is swifttrade but I have no clue what they do. There's also one in Laval, can't remember the name. They where posting on jobboom or monster 2 years ago if I remember. There is nothing like making it yourself IMO.

I also doubt IB is trying to cheat you, unlike shady forex brokers. You said "stop market on last price of course", did you validate that some trades occured between you stop price and execution. Also, if your stop is at an obvious xx.98 then there may be a lot of stops trigering at the same...

IMO you need the automation but you could also specialise in 10-20 stocks and do them manually (I would never dare). I sometimes play 2-3 stocks at the last imnute when I did not have the time to prepare. The spreadsheets are broker specific because it's all about sending orders to the broker...

One thing for sure they want yout to trade a lot. More and more. This is why they provide you with real time quotes and blackberry realt time.

Yes, the NYSE has an auction. So limit on open (OPG) get into the auction and you get the NYSE specialist open price if it's in your limit. Also, on Yahoo the opening price is shit. It's consolidated data from all ECN's so the open price could be on 100 shares 1 dollar off the fair value. The...

3 fills, 1 long 2 shorts, 1 winner, 2 losers, -0.03 average. I have a problem placing orders to sell at the ask, or buying at the bid. Little blue status. Somehow draging down my results. Not much meat anyways.
