Opening Orders - 2008

FWIW I did an opening order today. I am going to be tracking and trading just GE with small size. It seems I should use the Bright formula but then determine from the premarket some more info. I also am using only MB Trading and I am not positive I am getting the opening NYSE print. But, this is a good way to get familiar with this new to me strategy.

Short GE 29.21 covered 29.15 (per Don's first .06 auto order idea) +.06.
 
GE and EK with boot campers + 14 cents. Actually a good week, but I traded small because I was doing it manually. Back to system on Monday, look out for Murphy's law, LOL.

FWIW, I tighten up GE and a couple of others daily because of their high liquidity.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Still in front of boot campers (should probably stay this way, LOL).

3 fills of 11 stocks, all winners +21 cents. 6 days straight I think.

First day of keeping track of boot camper openings (I hope I don't jinx it).

Pretty good start. I won't post this much detail, but will post for the week. I only post the pennies because some are trading 100 shares, some more...but all report as if trading only 100 shares.

Good job guys!!

1st time posting. Had 5 straight days of wins (with real money) but lost today. Had 1 winner and 3 losers. My losers were BAC (short), AVP (short), and KFT (long). Got hit hardest on BAC. It was strengthening early so I got out with a 0.31 loss.
