Opening Orders - 2008

Congrats on surpassing 9000 posts Don. :)

5 Fills

4 Short / 1 Long

5 Winners +$290

I have to work on better envelopes. Right now 1 looser takes out 2.25 winners average gain is .081 and average loss is -0.186 , but my win loss ratio is 10/1 so i am still positive.

How do you guys manage that amount of open positions? Can't imagine you do that manually. Do you have protective SL's on?

In those situations I generally trade my positions as a portfolio. I have a spreadsheet that calculates volatility based hedges if I am too exposed on one side. I also have custom written software that can work me out of positions incrementally without firing off market orders, which would kill me in slippage.
 
Weird day today. Had some platform problems and a few of my trades zoomed against me...never a good combo. I was able to pull off all winners though.

3 short / 2 long

5 winners / +$310.00

You got that right chi...no fills again...can you say B O R I N G

But, I'd rather have that than the "excitment" of getting caught on missed earnings story :eek:
 
Quote from WECoyote:

Don,

Just as an aside --- is the PAIR trading that you do day trading or are overnight postions held?

We have traders who day trade a couple of pairs, and go home flat...and we have traders who take home hundreds of pair (my brother has over 350 pairs in our portfolio).
