The Opening Orders Thread

Quote from Don Bright:

Nice Wednesday.

.3 buy envelope, 1.1 sell envelope.

44 stocks. 5 fills, all long. +$1200. KMB was super, accounted for nearly half the total profit.

All done and out by 9:35 ET.

I agree... the KMB stock was great... I had 500 shares for a .33 win. :)

coulda/shoulda held longer tho for the extra .30 :(
 
Not sure what was with EK this morning, bouncing from .22 to .35 to .16 and all around. Anyway, managed $200 profit with it...nothing else....oh well.

Anybody know a good source for historical fair value S&P data (few minutes before market opens)?

I know I can always take the ES data and calculate myself, just wonder if there is a quicker way.
 
2 fills / 4000 shares

2 shorts / -1220.00

- .52 / + .98 %

should have been a small loss...got cute with MER and watched it get stopped out...

MER (901.00)

2 small long wins, 1 short loss, +136

I was on the fence with leaving MER in, but since he can be a vicious bastard, I decided not to take a chance that he could rally on the AGE buyout. Got lucky I guess.

Heading out to watch the Memorial golf tournament tomorrow, so I may not trade the open. All of you try not to miss me too much and have a good weekend.
 
9 Fills, all long 8 winners....and one @#$% Circuit City ..... I just sat there and let it take the profits away...break even. ***

** Lesson to be learned here - don't get greedy, and never let a winner turn into a loser just for the sake of ego or stupidity, LOL
