Took it off myself: "Analysts sees potential improvement for non-life insurers in the fourth quarter"
Even if PRU is in life insurance I cut it.

thanks for that tip. So you also read the big headlines and see which industry / sectors that applies to?

Also,
Say DELL reports earnings and they are real bad. Do you take out all the computer stocks?

Has anyone taken out Energy due to the recently run up in oil?

Right on.

Of course. I'm also cautious of pairs play. Suppose you cancel XOM, it may be a good idea to take out CVX.

Upped the number of stocks today and had 24 hits; only got out .03/share traded though due to not being ready for that kind of quantity...

This is a reason why auto exits are important IMO.

Yep, I agree... I can't keep up with more than a couple of fills manually.


Anyway, today...5 fills 4 winners +14 cents.

I'm considering attending the 3-day training seminar with Bright Trading...

Do you guys make a full-time income (i.e. 100k+ per yr) from Opening Orders trading?

Thanks,

Walt

No yet but I'm in profits for sure. I just dont have the balls to pump my share size. I think it's doable but not an easy task.
