The Opening Orders Thread

5 Fills Out quickly too much to handle
short +.20, +.24(testing), +.03, break even
Long -.05

I use yahoo to get my data and was wondering if I should use Prev Close or Last Trade.

i don't get why you use yahoo...why wouldn't you use your trading platforms qoutes...

i use last night's close...if it is different in the am then i block it....
 
No fills. Blocked a bunch on news.

In general, you want to use the closing price for your stocks, wherever you get it. But as a caveat, check to ensure that the closing price was not a big gap from where it was trading the last few minutes in the day.
 
Quote from Xaiadar:

Started off good but got hammered by a 47 cent loss on one:

2 long winners, one long loser

+.03, +.05, -.47 :mad:
More...

I wonder how many shares you guys trade?
 
7 Fills
Long +.01, +.15
Short -.01, +.08, CFC(test scratching off my list)-.18, +0.2(test)
One thing I did wrong on todays open was focusing on my losers than my winners. My losers I lower my share size too, to see if it goes bad again.
 
Geez, 13 fills - 10 winners +$1200

Program had a bug after about 7 fills, stopped, was pretty exciting from then on, LOL.

Out by 9:41 - probably "could have" finessed a bit better (getting older I guess) :)

Don :)
 
Isaac, right now I'm just learning how to do this, so I'm only 200-500 shares maximum on each one I enter. Fortunately, the 47 cent hit came on a stock that I decided to go for 200 shares on. No news on it either. :confused:

Looking at it right now, it's down another 70 cents from where I got out!
