took a lot of order managment to stay dry...
1 screw up...put a sell stop on a stock i was already short...
it's amazing how you can screw up on a daily...
with gs trading 108.62 @ 09:34:50 i placed a 108.51 sell stop...
nyse traded 300 shares @ 108.51 and then printed 4500 @ 108.51 @ 09:35:24 stopping me out...
i manually trail my stops as the morning wears on...widening them as p&l increases...
any ideas welcome...
9 fills / 800 shares each
3 short / 6 long +728.00
blocked 9 out of 95 stocks on news / earnings
- 1.1 / + .4% from previous close...
got stopped out in gs ...shoot!!!
most issues were open and then stalled...
on nyse they try to open at the bell but at times open a few seconds or minitues later depending on order flow...
did anyone else notice a stall in executions from 08:30:58 to 08:31:34 am cst....
it looks like all the dow and larger components all gapped after 35 to 45 seconds of non trading...
i will be researching this further but any input would be greatly appreciated...
nitro if you see this...
i use % of change in futures from last nights close...
i trade the oex basket which does have a correlation to the esu5...
i use a base % of +/- .75% and add or subtract the futures skew...
works for me...
i use much smaller size compared to most but % wise i do as well or better...
anybody know how to add radio buttons to an excel spreadsheet...
ie. if button is pressed it will generate a value, a true or a false so a stock can be taken out of a calculation...

cat split 2 for 1....
do simple division and you can figure out the divisor...
dow is price weighted....
the divisor changes on entries, deletions or splits...
cat posted the split a month ago...
this may help...
