The Opening Orders Thread

This question is for experienced OO traders. Hope Don and Lescor will share some info.
Where do you guys find the ex-dividend date and relevant information when doing the OO strategy? (assuming on the ex-dividend the stock will gap down? yes? no?) As I remember Lescor usually do a little bit over 400 stocks in the morning, so there is gotta be a fast, systematic approach to get rid of stocks at the ex-dividend date from your list of Opening only. Is there a web-site like briefing.com which shows all the upgrades and downgrades before the open?

thanks
 
Quote from 777:

A trader has a NYSE Stop in the market on his Opening Order and it gets hit...

If there is a better price available on ARCA (or any ECN) than on the NYSE, will the specialist fill the order at the better price by sending it to the ECN?

Not sure of the question, please expand on it and I will do my best to help.

My RediPlus has a column in the quote window for ex Div dates. My spreadsheets searches for news as well. I publish up and downgrades for my traders each morning here: www.stocktrading.com/Tradinginfo.htm (and I tell them to check on their own as well).

I pull ex-date and dividend amount into my spreadsheet with dde from esignal.
I use 3 or 4 different websites to check for news, upgrades, etc. Briefing's platimum level service is pretty good for only $20/month.

Redi Plus is an order entry platform.
 
School this morning, manual on one screen, only 10 stocks no fills. I will put in 20 or more tomorrow (a bit tough to juggle all this on my laptop while being projected on the wall, LOL).
