Annoying: 1 long winner on a small position, 1 small short loser on a large position. -87.50

1 fill, gave up a little too quickly, -55

No fills

Took a small loss (-60) because I was too "ambitious". Should have carded about a hundo.

Above average day hosed by 1 lousy loser. 3 long fills, 2 wins, 1 loss, +75 I feel bad for you Danjos, that was awful what happened. You did well in not panicking when down 10K to get out with less of a loss. You'll get it back - a few more days like today are all you need.

Yep, today was a bit rough. Only 1 long fill, but was down 37 cents before I could blink. Fought back but still a loser. -215.50

1 fill, small position as I'm testing a new "horse" for the stable, +25 I know this excites you guys...

You can use an individual stock's beta to adjust the expected opening price for the stock. In other words a stock with a beta of 2 would be expected to open up 2% if the futures are indicating the market to open up 1%. Just multiply the beta by the indicated percent change the futures are...

Had to block a good chunk of my roster as well. The one I got filled on was long and a dog. -67.50

If you search for "Don's Openings" there are several threads going back a few years. These will likely answer the questions that you have. Good luck!

No, a sucky day would have been if you stayed down 4K. That 500 bucks you pocketed is more than 85% of working Americans will bring home today. :D

1 long fill, scratch. Been a dead last few days on the open, at least for me.

Whopper of an opening today. +12.50 Have a good weekend all.

2 small fills, 1 small win, 1 small loss, +30

1 short fill, +182.50

Today was strange. I got more fills than I expected given the flat futures pre-open, and most of them stunk. My big loser was an earnings report of a peer that I missed, but it would have been a down day nonetheless. 3 long, 2 short, 4 losers, 1 winner, -458.50

Back from vacation as well. No one filled in for us last week to keep the thread going. 2 short fills, +201

3 short fills, 1 win, 2 scratch, +220 Everyone have a good 3 day Independence Day holiday; and for those overseas, enjoy the weekend as well.

4 long fills, 3 small wins, 1 small loss that should have been scratch but I fat fingered the exit. +172.50 I've also seen where programtrading.com and indexarb.com have different numbers for fair value, sometimes different by .20 or so. I'm guessing one site is using less precision in their...

1 short fill, for a whopping 52.50. Alas, better than the proverbial "sharp stick in the eye".:cool:
