Ouch - sorry to hear that. Assume you were mostly buying? What envelope size were you using (if you don't mind revealingthat)?
 
Yes, mostly buying (only 3 were shorts). My envelopes are different for each stock. They are based on the FV difference, stock beta, and implied volatility. No big deal...its only paper money :) I am trying to not let my emotions get in the way so that it doesn't skew the data.

Seems like a harsh day for everyone.
The ES smelled down and I was more conservative on the long side.
Quite busy for me with a single laptop screen in class...
6 fills, 2 longs, 4 short.
4 winner, 2 loser. +8$ net 1100 shares. Can get a decent pint for it, lol
Still on 100 shares on most but got filled on second layer on 4 stocks.
Got to improve my reaction, I was totaly shaking with 4 open positions. Boot camp in Nepal, lol.
Would have been a decent day but I got in EXC even though there was an upgrade. I implemented an automated thing in order to not trade them. I copy paste earnings/div/UpDowngrades in Excel and then a macro parse the list. But my macro dosen't account for the difference between "EXC" and "EXC ". Had to happen for me to correct it!

Really love that OPG thing.
 
4 fills
1 long, 3 shorts
3 winners (+0.07,+0.15, +0.09), 1 loser (-0.23) = 10$ net on 900 shares. A pint plus tip.
GLW is the loser, maybe I could have cut it on little pushing but I try to reduce the number I cancel since many news seems to have no effect.
