Quote from Shreddog:

My power went out 10 seconds after the open. The good news is my UPS works and my T1 line didn't go down. But I only had 1 PC connected to it and so I was flying a bit blind. I cancelled my remaining orders and closed out everything ASAP rather than try and trade through the chaos.

4 fills +200

My benchmarks say I would have had 10 fills +725

I think the $500 difference justifies another UPS, don't you?

yeah.

Probably any other time of day and I could have dealt with it fairly gracefully with just 1 PC. But not 10 seconds after market open. I just had to close everything out, shut down, and go read the newspaper.

I thought it was one of your rules not to place opening orders on stocks with earnings?
