The Opening Orders Thread

Quote from chiguy:

hello folks...

5 fills / 5 longs / + 2752.00

doubled my envelopes on all three levels...

1.50% above and below
2.00% "
2.50% "

fwiw...i stayed short 5400 shares of the "brokers" last night as they were the ones who got me yesterday...

+ 20,165.00 on the "gents"...all bought pre-open....not a revenge trade but a logical short considering the rumors and their current levels....

all in all a good day...

Revenge is sweet, making back the money is even sweeter, LOL. Good job!

thanks folks...

time for my medication....:eek:
 
Wow, that was clutch chiguy. I am very happy for you. What an emotional swing.

Today could have been decent if I had the sense to cancel Tyco, which I had an inkling to do as I waited for it to open. He took me down $3180 before working back, but still cost me $1050.

All in all, 3 longs, 2 wins and a Tyco, -339 on 5000 shares.

Yesterday and today were the first two OPG fills I've gotten on Tyco since it spun off the other two companies. I think he's going into the penalty box for the time being.
 
Well, this just in from my Arcadia office.

(I think a new record).

$139,000 this morning, over $105,000 from the opening, and the balance from closing some pairs. One guy...not bad...

Entered buy orders only with .2 envelope...
Got 1 fill long GE for a nice quick win & then decided to cancel my remaining open orders: DOW PFE T WMT
Of those 4 "woulda" gotten fills on DOW & T for a loss & a win (most likely)
Looks like a lot of stocks worked so hope everyone had a good day...good weekend to all
 
widened envelopes today...

5 fills / 5 longs / + 1962.00

- 1.95 / + .05%

1 big loser....DOW...-3584.00

system issues today...seems like ny open book and the real world were 2 different places...

i had a few stocks that opened and then did nothing for quite awile...

anybody else see this...

tgif...:confused:
 
We talked about DD and DOW on our morning call, I took them out (luckily).....

I was small again today, +565 on a couple of fills. No sell shorts (why bother, LOL).

No new records this morning, but no significant losses either.

No system problems today, a bit slow yesterday, but today the auto-retrace orders went in within 2 seconds.

Man, I had a tough week in the OPGs. It was a lot worse than it should have been, as I let market conditions take me out of my standard fundamental strategy. Even so, poor performing fills here and there just eliminated the few I got that were nicely profitable, so I'd have been a loser either way. Kind of the luck of the draw, but still stinks.

Today I cut size and got 5 long fills, 3 wins, 2 losers, -947 on 5100 shares.

Absolutely mangled GE; took a nice partial profit, then let it drift down while watching other fills. It came back to my entry and I sat there, expecting the market to have a nice pop and take it up, but that didn't happen, so I let it drift again. Just plain dumb, and something I never do. Gotta get back to following the rules.

Have a good weekend all.
