Glad to see I wasn't the only one who bailed on cat too soon

A bit of a battle this morning...9 fills, and then I kick my computer, shutting off my auto closing program...went from $1200 up to $500 down, wound up +$400 after all the dust settled....(fingers tired now, LOL)...

No fills yesterday.
Today 1 long fill, -90
Bizzare the number of long fills on the board today given a gap up open.

worst day ever for openings...
too much to watch...next time i will watch p&l instead of positions as there were so many i couldn't pick which one to cover first...
winners evaporated and losers just hung around...
Watching that thread regulary for several months now. Althought I'm a futures trader I find that approach very interesting. I'm sorry to see you taking that big loss, Chiguy. But I'm also sure you'll make it back on track.

20 fills / 31000
20 long / -2927.00
- .4 / + 1.1%
covered at 8:34 as it looked like we were going to break down...
watched p&l go to over 10,000+ as of 08:54...
can't catch a break...
i thought we would open weak and rally but i guess i did not wait quite long enough...
this is getting hard to take...
maybe time for a break...

2 fills ge and xom small profit. I bailed on xom when it got back to break even.
To chi....
I got filled on 2 of 11 using a .004 envelope and only entering the buys.
Is 2 of 11 the same ratio of fills that you got?
Your swings may actually be in the same proportion as mine. I'm doing 1,000 shares each.
I'm guessing you're just on a higher level of fills, thus a higher level of volatility, etc. I don't think I'm at the stage where I could handle 10-20 fills at one time. My next step is to increase share size to 1500 and then to 2000. I think it is better for me to increase share size, but not increase the number of issues. I believe that it is easier to execute higher share volume rather than large numbers of issues in this particular strategy.
Just a thought....trying to give you some ideas (which I know you've considered already)
