Don's openings and more for 2005

Quote from danjos:

Sometimes, I see quotes from other exhange offering better prices, but I could not got fills from these Boston or Philadelphia Exchanges. Do others's execution have the ability to execute on these exchanges?

Thanks

Try ARCA...with Genesis if you have "route out" on then you can execute against those.
 
Quote from Cesko:

Don, hopefully I am not too nosy, but I'd like to ask what's your brother's average position size he trades. Thank you

He trades each stock and pair in different sizes and ratios, of course. Usually 5,000 share trades for the most part.

Up about $276 this morning...I added a couple of stocks, now submitting 10, we'll see if we can keep the consistency with a few more fills each morning.

1 long, 1 short, 1 winner, 1 loser, -180.

Was getting my butt handed to me on the short for 25 cents with no easy out until it finally took a breather. Still took a 10 cent hit on it.
 
I read bad news on HPQ, I mention it to bootcampers, I stay in anyway, it opens at 23.95 and immediately drops to 23.70 - oops, held on a bit, but still down 250 for the day (gotta start listening to myself, LOL).

OK, back to work...

complete mental screwup this morning...

10 fills / 1 short / 9 long -87.00...

-.75 / +.75 %

should have been .....

5 fills / 3 short / 2 long $???.??

- 1.0 / + .5 %

forgot to change skew on entry software...

system says correct percentages would have made money...

to make things even better i sold 5 dow baskets on michigan news even though i was only long 4 from the am opening....(meant to sell only one)

got lucky though... after 139400 shares and a really bad cover on the extra basket +262.00 on the day....

i think its time for a vacation....

6 fills/ +169 All losers or flat except for CSX. What a sweet fill on CSX. Too bad it was only 500 shrs.

I imagine that's what all the fills were like "back in the day", right? :)
