Opening Orders - 2008

Quote from gehko:

Busy day for the Brights today?

We were advised not to do the OPGs because of the up limit on the futures.

However, I'm sure some of us didn't listen. According to the rumors going around here in the LV office, one guy is up 1.9 million.

Not really, could've just been short a lot on the open. Things came in points.

did u wake up late buddy???? they just banned shorts on all financials........my volume is drying up quicker than ethanol on burning flame.
 
When I saw the ES froze at 1268 I did not understand what was going on. I did not know the limit was cancelling at 9:30 on futures. There was 13000 on the bid and I thought that was a computer malfunction so I opted out doing opening (no real FV without the ES anyways).
I'm, sure it would have been the best day ever for me. I freaked out.
Up a million on OPG, WTF?

I can't confirm that he held overnight, but you would've had a very good day had you shorted many stocks other than financials.

I'm sure Lescor or Shreddog had record days if they played the openings this morning.

Not a bad idea to be chill on extraordinary market conditions. This opening thing doesn't seem like it is for super home runs. Maybe for someone doing it for years I'm sure they could make that happen in these conditions.
 
I trade with Echo and wasn't able to send any short orders to day. I was up all night to prepare for this and someone at Echo/Merrill screws up. Would have been my second best day ever.
