The Opening Orders Thread

Only filled short on two test positions again, scratched.
LOL, no fills yesterday (manual, in front of boot campers, too wide, earnings, etc. blah blah blah)...
So today, I cut back to 500 shares, put in tight envelope on only 10 stocks (to demonstrate mechanics involved)...and get filled on 4, all winners, perfect opening for about $200 bucks ("shoulda" been $1,000 or so).....Murphy's law still working well, LOL.

Good job, this should make up for a couple of those days last week....excellent!

5 short (4W, 1L) 1 long win, +614, 7800 shares
Out waaaay too soon on a couple. Just being cautious since I was so short on a gap down day.
Hope everyone else did better than I did.

Not bad expiration Friday. 4 fills, 3 short and 1 long. All winners, +$900 approx. HAL was excellent!

1 fill long WMT for a small win (also out waaaay too soon)
Guess I was too wide on the sell envelope with .6
Cancelled only DOW (he's just about off the list) & added a few extra stocks today too.
I'm experimenting with adding the second layer to help with my comfort level (feeling of blindness :eek: ) in not having the indications.
Good weekend to all

In my opinion, you don't need the indications to make money on OPGs; I've never paid attention to them. Rely on your ability to cut losses quickly. (Of course I'm not a superstar when it comes to OPGs either, so take what I say with a grain of salt.)
