Just NYSE

6 fills, mostly small sizes, canceled each other out for a scratch day.

Blocked 2/3 of my roster on news. One short fill on a small position, good for a gallon and a half of gas.

6 long, 1 short, most on small positions. Slippage on the one decent winner melted away what small profit there was, -103, 5400 shares

A long and a small short, both losers, -246, 3100 shares

Only 1 short fill on a smaller position, -55, 1000 shares Traded like a fool and let about a $120 win turn into a loss. Irritating to make execution mistakes, whether its on 100 shares or several thousand.
