No, just a basic strategy outlined in earlier threads that most people use as a baseline, and tweak it according to their preferences. Took a spanking today, 1 long loser, 1 short test position win, -1450, 2100 shares. ABT was a bastard.

He does it all the time. He's a BULLRIDER!

1 long scratch. Still getting a lot of news cancels. Earnings season is annoying. Companies should report twice a year.

Got behind in my morning prep and didn't get any orders in. Most of my roster was blocked on news, and it looks like I wouldn't have gotten filled on the few I had left.

Had lots of stocks pulled for news, and cut my size in half. 3 long wins, although 2 unfortunately were on tiny test positions, +183

Had all buys pulled given the big early gap in the futures, didn't notice the futures tanking until right as I was about to send in my orders. Had a mad scramble to reset my order spreadsheet putting the buys back on, and reblocking the stocks I was pulling, and didn't get the orders submitted...

Of course the error couldn't have worked out in your favor and got you short more than you intended, giving you a sweet win. Never seems to work like that. We've all been there. The adjustments you make to ensure this doesn't happen again will make you better over the long run. Hope to see...

1 long win (2 long losers on test positions), 1 short loss, +84, 3700 shares

None of them can or will. If the US leaves before Iraq can handle itself, Iran will step right up and increase its influence within the country, something our Saudi friends (?) would be none too keen on. Iraq is going to be like Korea, Japan, and Germany. US troops on the ground in some...

1 long win, 2 short losers (one a small test position), +272, 3600 shares

2 long wins and a long scratch, +345, 6600 shares Fatfingers and holding a bit long ate into a good chunk of today's result.

No fills today, lots of blocks for news

STP

What time do they usually do that, or is it random? I generally keep CNBC gagged in the morning but it would have saved me big bucks yesterday.

No fills. Have a good weekend everyone. NFL Divisional Playoffs weekend is always fun, even if your team isn't participating :(

NOW you tell us! I don't see it anywhere; where did you see the downgrade?

The bullet I dodged in WYE a couple of days ago came back to get me today. 2 long wins, 1 huge long loss, 1 short win, -2008, 8100 shares Got filled long in UTX and it dove from the get go. Never gave much of an exit until after I had scaled the position back. Eventually made money on...

2 long wins, a long loss, and a short win, +514, 10,000 shares

2 short fills (one a tiny test position) 2 losers, -450, 3100 shares. WYE got me for 14 cents but if you look at the chart, you will see wye I'm not too mad about it.

No fills either. Steelers put me out of my misery Saturday, but they didn't have the horses to go all the way this year, so might as well get a better draft position than endure humiliation at New England. Some solace can be found tonight if LSU can beat Ohio State and spare me the misery...
