No fills using a fatter envelope. Have a good weekend everyone.

Stayed on the sidelines today. Mostly due to lack of confidence in the NYSE processing systems being able to handle "panic" conditions. Had half a mind to put in one quarter size with a huge envelope, but wouldn't have been able to justify it had it turned out a loser. Hope everyone who...

On further inspection, it looks like I also got burned on a huge closing print down on PG. Close was 61.25, when stock was trading around 62.50 prior to yesterday's bell. Opened today at 62.60, which would not have been outside my envelope for a short fill had I adjusted for the down close. I...

1 short loser, -771 on 1000 shares. Totally my fault. Trying to get more out of the trade than was there, I let a 20 cent win disappear and then the sucker took off on me. Rough two days turned a decent February into a pedestrian one for this strategy...

I remember him saying the exact opposite a year or so ago, making fun of the "momentum" investors.

5 long, 2 wins, 3 losses, -1692 on 6500 shares LOW and CAT creamed me. Worst OPG day ever for me. Good motivation for the next week or so...

1 long fill, +90 on 1000 shares

1 short win, +110, 1000 shares Have a good weekend everybody. The kids are going to grandma's so me and the wifey are going to kick back and enjoy a couple of nights out...

If you continually get no fills day after day you may want to adjust your envelope, but there will be days when you get no fills. That's just how it goes. Once you are filled, every stock will behave differently. You just have to trade them with small size until you get a feel for how they...

5 long, 2 wins, 1 loss, 2 scratch, +736 on 9500 shares

Haven't traded Amex opens, so can't comment on it. Today 2 long, 1 win 1 loss, -44 on 2500 shares

2 long wins, 1 short scratch, +620 on 4000 shares

1 long win, +155 on 2000 shares I'm finding that a good many of those quick spike moves are on next to no volume - 30 cent moves in a couple seconds on 500-1500 shares. I'm guessing that getting your order in quicker would prevent those prints from occurring anyway. I've been holding on for a...

I think there are already a few out there that may have gone dormant.

1 win, 1 scratch, +133, 2000 shares

1 long win, +448, 1500 shares

You are correct.

1 long win, +208, 2000 shares

3 short fills, 1 win, 2 small test position losers. A whopping +13 on 2000 shares. Tried to let my winner run, but he decided not to.

No fills today. Enjoy the weekend. I might if it warms up. Sitting at 8 degrees right now, which is actually a heat wave compared to the temps over the course of the week...
