    Opening Orders - 2008

    4 long, 1 win and a win, 1 scratch and a small loss on small positions, +668, 3200 shares. I pulled GE, I'm not a bullrider; that's just "how I roll" -- very slowly in a POS jalopy :D Have a good weekend all. Enjoy the Masters.

    Opening Orders - 2008

    For opening orders the only exchange I pay attention to is NYSE. Today 8 long, 1 short, +804, 12400 shares Sloppy trading on my part hurt me on some but actually helped on others, so could have been better, could have been worse. Weird day - looked to be a sleepy open but there was lots of...

    Sorry but I don't understand what you are asking. Are you talking about opening orders or trading gaps in general?

    Opening Orders - 2008

    Personally I manage it by prior experience with the stock on the open. You get used to how it performs and you know when it's having an unusual day. Some will go against you hard and come back quickly quite often; its just a matter of experience. Sometimes you just take a hit; you try to keep it...

    Esignal lagging again!

    It lags daily; not all the time, but usually during volume and price spikes. The spikes don't have to be obscene either, like a Fed meeting day spike. I'm talking about normal daily activity that should be handled easily. I've noticed the problem for months. Their customer service system...

    Opening Orders - 2008

    A limerick for Friday to describe today's experience: THE SPECIALISTS AT N-Y-S-E WANTED NO PART OF MY O-P-G I OFFERED TO SELL, THEY SAID "GO TO HELL" "AND ON ALL OF YOUR BIDS WE SHALL PEE" Yeah, it is tremendously weak, but so was today's opening for me. Have a good weekend.

    Opening Orders - 2008

    Thanks, I am. It was never that bad, but I was hopped up on prescription cough syrup so I thought it might be a good idea not to try to trade in that state.

    Opening Orders - 2008

    Expiration was a dud for me. Lots of blocks on news and only got filled on small positions, so a scratch day. Been out of commission since last Wednesday with a mild flu sweeping the household, taking me down and then the kids...
