GM is the +8, which is net after comish.

1% envelope (half a percent on either side) fair value adjusted for beta example: spm down .47% gm close 61.00 fairvalue = (-.0047 * 1.13(beta) +1) * 61 = 60.68 buy at 60.37 sell at 60.98 (so if it opens up, or unch on uptick, you're short) stock opened and was filled long at...

Hey Don - got any pregame comments. What kind of adjustments do you make for the BDO? (bid down open)??? Obviously the sells, if not adjusted will be unfillable because they will be below yest close and the uptick rule.

all out at 9:42 10 sets of orders, 3 fills, 2 winners, 1 loss net plus 32 cents probably out a little too quickly on the winners. Also cancelled one potentially nice one due to a 5-6 minute delayed open.

that type of action is not unusual. Today I was long gm at something .68, bid moves up to .83 offer at .89 or so, lookin' good and in a heartbeat it's .65 bid at .85. It happens. That's a pretty liquid stock, one would think, but when the specialist gets a big order, he spreads the spread to...

Ended the week nicely positive on OO trades. Trading very small right now but will probably inccrease size in a couple of days. (just gotta get equity above where I started today.) now the bad news....... down 52 cents net today, 3 fills, 2 wins 1 loss. Played SGP which was an error in...

Do you handle a day like today (sp + 10 pts) in a normal fashion in terms of the buy orders? Possibly expand the envelope a little so you aren't buying too many names that are opening higher?

Where is a source for official NYSE historical opening prices? I use tradestation 6 for charting and often when there is a delayed open it prints some ecn trades before the stock opens and makes it hard to figure where you would have been filled.

5 fills, 4 winners (went with gm despite the upgrade) +23 -27 +12 +12 +33 (all net after comission) total +53 cents

bluesky- I suggest you go to the original thread and read all the posts. This will give you the basics of this methodology. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3334 It is a mechanical entry, intuitive exit. Whether you use a hard stop or mental stop is entirely up to...

I use a 1% (.5 under .5 over) envelope and don't mess with it too much. I adjust my fair value calc for each individual stock's beta. Today was filled on axp, bac, and sbc, all short. Lost 6 cents on axp, it kept going up. Lost 15 cents on bac, was a little slow to get out, it kept going up...

lost 30 cents net after commission, 3 fills, 3 losers, all short put in orders on 9 stocks. the ib limit on open orders are working.

It is there, but when you open the order dialog box and select "opg" in the time inforce dropdown, it changes the order from limit to market, and then you have to change it back to limit. Watch out for this.

+ 49 cents net after comish 9 order sets, 3 fills, 2 win 1 scratch think I'll keep doing this.

I had same problems. Went down to 753.5 from 754.2, and had no problems today. It seems to be a stocks only problem, not effecting futures. Go to one of the links in the previous posts and download an older version. You should be ok.

I am not a square. I am cool. I am Maynard.

8 sets of orders, 3 fills, 3 wins, plus 20 cents after comish. all out by 9:40 - 6 game win streak in progress. however, left a bundle on the table- great day for taking partials at target and letting remainder ride a little.
