7 fills / 2 short 5 long / about 14000 shares / + 3200.00

got lucky in ba...only coverd 1500 of 2500 by mistake and then rode the last 1000 for about a point...

rather be lucky than smart anyday...

Decent start +$1100 - good CPB. Dodged a bullet by a penny in KFT (whew!). Decent start to the week.

Chiguy - "Good Job!" :-)

Hi was wondering if Open Orders work the same way on Amex?

Haven't traded Amex opens, so can't comment on it.

Today 2 long, 1 win 1 loss, -44 on 2500 shares

You'll love this...Kevin (or IT guy) reset all our servers at 9:29 (due to a probem with Cox Cable), I had 120 orders in...no Redi...it took 7 minutes, I went to the other room, logged in - had 10 fills, all long, made $1,000 by covering "at the market" - LOL....proves the theory that openings are still "idiot proof".

And that was with a stupid loss of $450 on HPQ (had new spreadsheet, forgot to take it off the list).

No fills today, should I decrease my envelope I currently have it set to .80 had about 30-40 orders. But I did get a fill yesterday and it dropped .70 and I got out right @ the low before It rebound back, only problem is that I had to wait 20mins before it was even a break even and there was no news... any comments would be great...

I used a .4 sell, and a .6 buy today. 2 Fills, automated program is back to 100% - 2 second retracements +$300.
