The Opening Orders Thread

Just small +$180 today. Got lucky after close yesterday, closed my short e's, and was able to buy GE at 41.55 (opened at 41.89). Things should be fun for the rest of the week, looking forward to XXXXpiration on Friday.

oy chiguy...hopefully better luck the rest of the week

Entered sell orders only with .2 envelope & got no fills again...I don't like going much tighter than .2
Cancelled HD & LOW
 
Didn't play today. Most of my longer term trades are in small caps, and since a lot of them are popping right now, I didn't want to miss anything off the open.

I also thought that after yesterday we might have a move up with no looking back -- people falling all over themselves to jump in at any pullback, so the shorts I likely would have had would be dicey. After looking at the stocks in my roster, it looks like a mixed bag but a wild ride that probably would have turned out to be a scratch.

It's dangerous to overthink the OPG strategy. When you try to get cute, you usually miss out. So I'm either lucky, or a wimp. Most likely the latter.

Don't worry about Chiguy, eastside. He's among the best at OPGs, and he'll likely be green by the end of the week...

Can you tell me share size on each trade? Trying to get an idea of risk I guess.
 
Small again +$390

I need to stop being lazy and get my list back up to 75 stocks or so....I've "ex'd" out so many, I think I hade 23 to in this morning.

Maybe this weekend. I will likely up size and stocks for tomorrow regardless (I generally like expirations).
