The Opening Orders Thread

Shreddog,

Yes, OPG SDOT...same thing happened yesterday with DNA.

Looks like you are getting filled at the correct opening price, but shreddog is right...something is off in your orders.
According to your limit prices, you should not be getting filled, but you are getting filled at worse, not better prices than your limit. Maybe a code or field is set to the wrong value in your program or order entry platform.
Luckily, you are in the green anyway :D

I might as well be using a Ouiji Board because my orders and fills get stranger by the day.

Nothing Done on these two orders:

MAR Long 44.29...I show an open of 43
CVS SS 38.51.. show an open of 38.53

On the other hand, was filled on these names, my buy and sell limits:

BUD 51.66-51.99 Filled at 51.92
HPQ 50.32-50.64 Filled at 50.51
JPM 46.97-47.27 Filled at 47.20
MRK 52.11-52.44 Filled at 52.25

This "cannot" happen unless you calculated a price, then clicked "market on opening" vs. Limit opening only.

By your handle, may I guess you trade on the anvil platform? This cannot happen.

I looked at your screen shot, not enough information that I could find like order type, entry time, etc.

Ours shows SS 2000 BUD 51.92 ON LIMIT meaning that we had a lower offering price and were given a form of price improvement.

Had the support folks look up my orders...BlackwoodPro 'Orders' tab doesnt display all submitted orders.

The order log displayed the following:
BUD 50.66 - 50.99...fill 51.92 short
HPQ 51.00 - 51.33...fill 50.51 long
JPM 46.75 - 47.04...fill 47.20 short
MAR 44.91 - 45.19 scratch
CVS 38.43 - 38.68 scratch

My spreadsheet numbers changed due to closing and relaunching Excel between the open and my original post. Tomorrow I may use my old standby system, see below.

Used .2 envelope for sells & 1.1 for buys as my starting point

Then I manually adjusted orders sometimes adding another layer TIGHTER or sometimes cancelling original order & replacing with 1 order tighter & another order wider...I would like to get some fills short

Cancelled S & T

Good luck to all
