Don,

How do you see the new hybrid model effecting OO trading?

So far, no changes that I see. It is more important, however, that you get your "slingshot" orders in quickly so that if they sweep the book, you'll get filled.

Nice Wednesday +$752 on 5 fills. Good example of "slingshot" - went in from program to pay .67 on JPM, got .60 on the sweep...nice!

Back at ya tomorrow!

What is "slingshot"?

What is "slingshot"?

An immediate retracement order to participate with the Specialist if he makes a quick trade after the opening.

Perfect example this morning. HAL opened at 31.00, my computer put in a sell order for 25% of the shares at 31.06, the stock immediately printed 31.15, and he had to include my shares...then the stock went right back to 31.06-31.09 or so.

BTW, any new guys should go to the "How does "Market Open" affect your trading thread under "Trading" - Lescor did a great job of explaining the strategy, and I helped a bit.

Took a nice extended break since the 22nd, and from the looks of it, everyone but Don did as well.

I'm assuming you are going to start a 2007 thread Don, so I'll wait to post today's result.
