The Opening Orders Thread

1 fill long T for a small win (out too soon)

sucre & chi : nice OPG yesterday & looks like maybe it was a day-after benefit from expiration...no fills for me & next month I'll be a little more aggressive the day after exp. also

Don: cute grandkids :)

Made it through Disneyland, no fastpass...World Premier of Pirates (3) - thousands of people camped out for 36 hours just to see the actors...Main Street was completely filled with "red carpet" gazers, LOL.

But, this is why I went:

All the best,

These kids look completely unconcerned about their market positions. They must have gone flat before leaving for their trip...or are well hedged.

One long fill today, made enough for about a gallon and a half of gas...
 
Quote from Big Game Hunter:

Id like to ask a quick question to Corey/Lescor if thats OK. Lets say that I want to automate a strategy across 30 stocks using the REDI plus API . How possible is it to do this on one computer and on one screen? Currently with Interactive brokers you have these large panels that are programmed in excel where you can fit say 9 on a screen or more if you minimise them on the toolbar. This is fine but if you want to trade a lot of names at once then it gets very cumbersome. However the VB excel programming means that the port into REDI should be very easy. My issue is that from a practical standpoint life would be a lot easier if all those names could be managed from one screen instead of spread across a lot of screens and computers. I was wondering since you have experience with trading lots of stocks at once what the best way to keep an eye on things while minimising the amount of screen real estate used? Thanks..

I've never traded on Redi, so can't help you there. I do have an opening orders system on IB, but it is a seperate app written for IB's api and does not run on vba through excel. If you are trading manually and constrained by space, I'd just go off your positions and what they're doing. Have one level 2 window and a chart and sort/manage positions by P/L.

Hi Corey,

so you trade the OPG's via IB exclusively, or Hydra as well?

Thanks
