5 fills: 3 short wins, 1 long win and 1 long loser, +385, 7100 shares
A couple of small test positions were mixed in there. Proctor and Gamble decided to play Proct(er)ologist, taking me down $600 before working back to let me out down just under two bills.
Have a good weekend all.

Took quite a ride being short CAT (3000 shares, auto program bought back 1500 with small profit, other 1500 swung as high as a $600 loss before retracing)..... and being long CSX, same deal except sold half for a small profit before it selling off nearly 1.00...so, with 3 other fills, ended up only +$200 (sort of a "theme" this week, it seems).
Have a good weekend all!

Was irritated initially at the P/L given the number of fills, but after doing a post mortem on the trades it turned out I couldn't have done much better. Just one of those days where the winners and losers balance out, unfortunately.

Broke a 7 day no fill streak with 1 fill long HD for a small win. I've been cancelling a lot due to news/earnings.
Took TYC OFF the list...I don't like the wider range & higher volatility that comes along with the new higher price. The only thing that kept him tame for a while was the lower stock price...he was really a wild one before the scandal. Looking at some other stocks to add to my list.
Without the opening indications, I look at the pre-market trades a little closer now. Since my list of stocks is pretty small, I set up a ticker window with all my OPG stocks in it. I open that window at about 8:30 & keep it open until all the stocks on my list have opened. This way I can catch anything suspicious in case I missed some news or for late-breaking info.

Nothing but fills in tiny test positions today. 2 long, 1 short. All winners of course. +36 on 300 shares.
