Yeah, I missed that. Cost me a few grand. Thanks for the huge laugh...

I don't track that stat, so I can't comment. Maybe someone else here can.

Small position fills, a win and a loss, +104, 1100 shares. This strategy ebbs and flows just like every other method of trading the market. When it flows, you get PMs. When it ebbs people say it doesn't work, which, for that period of time, is the truth. If people are looking for a...

What that tells me is a good chunk of the luxury buyers are individuals who are not all that wealthy, rather than belt tightening by fat cats. It would be interesting to see a snapshot of the demographics of luxury buyers/leasers. I'd bet the numbers would be surprising.

Sorry about your day, Chiguy. Taking a break from OPGs might not be a bad idea; I'm not seeing much in the way of performance the last couple of weeks either, and I don't even trade the financials. I've been trimming down size on my roster untill I see better results. Hats off to anyone...

It didn't show up on their upgrades/downgrades page for whatever reason. It was listed with a group of upgrade/downgrade calls on their "live in-play" page. Pretty poor job of keeping consistent data within the site.

I believe it was version 10 that most were complaining about. Version 10.1 is the latest release, and I can report that my lag problems have been corrected. I am running a dual core PC at 3.16 GHz.

Common problem but there are some checks you can do: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=128843

Scratch; small loss on a test position.

If you are having eSignal lag problems check your CPU usage when you notice it happening. Mine was getting maxed out each time. It could be a combination of the software and a CPU that might not be up to the task. I'm running 10.1 on a new computer now, and have not had the same issue yet. It...

Timid today :D Reduced size and fattened envelope, so I reaped what I sowed: no fills.

You're going about it the right way - keep it small until you are confident the stock fits you well and you are turning a profit in it (I say that because some people can trade certain stocks that others can't, and there's nothing wrong with that). Just don't be timid when you are doing well...

I don't see any COF news. HON and UTX got me for a combined $3100 and there was no news I could find. I think it was just a poison day all around; reminiscent of a day or two last August.

A bloodbath. 12 long, 2 short, -4193, 15400 shares. Plenty of full size fills today, of course. We'll shake it off and get back at it on Monday.

4 short, 4 long, mostly small stuff, +327, 4500 shares

More small ball. 4 short, 1 long, -205, 2400 shares
