Opening Only's 2010

Quote from Don Bright:

We "read" the news, make a determination at that point...to be extra cautious, just take the symbol out. Earnings are something we generally take out for.

Don (I'm back in the office, will post up openngs starting tomorrow).

Thanks Don, I got the same idea. Maybe I have my envelop so tighten, got 30% more filled. Working on making it out , thanks again.

For today I was 5:1 short and had FV at 0.00%.

 

[EMZ]

2 fills long, 1 scratch 1 loss, about -0.035/sh avg
FV at +0.031%

 

[Booker007]

Had a slipup today. For some reason I had FV at 0.000% instead of -0.347%. I ended up being about 50:1 Long. I guess it could of been alot worse but I pulled the plug quick.

 

[EMZ]

3 fills, 3 longs 1 scratch 2 loss
about -0.03/sh avg on the open
kept on going south, they came back well after 10 but that's outside the open strategy hold time?
Rollover day today June contract for futures
FV at -0.307%

[Booker007]

DE and KO were influenced by that wholesale or export number yesterday at 8:30.

as far as eminis you can use SPY. to get it into laser you will need extra entilment for CME mini. cost 60$ i think.

Today: 5 fills, all shorts, -0.05 per share. Used 0.7% envelope.

OPG experts, others than Don, who already did. Would you mind sharing EXIT techniques you're using?

I, for instance, have a take profit order at 12 cents against the opening order sent automatically. If not filled, the rest becomes completely discretionary, and I don't wait longer than 10 minutes after open. All this gives quite an emotional strain, which I don't like. Do you guys have a more structured way to exit?

You might try something less than 12 cents profit - but only for Half your position. Some use less than 10 cents.

Getting filled is as easy as BJ card counting [without the casino watching of course].
But getting out can be as complicated as playing Poker.
