Trade example from today-What happened here?

You wouldnt see a trade for my number of shares on the one minute chart because I was in the open auction. You see the total shares in the open auction hit at one price for all shares. Net order imbalance info is provided by Nasdaq for you to see the orders pending within the open auction 2 minutes prior to open. I dont have a feed for that data.

All my trades are not thin, and Ive been successful until a couple times the last month where odd things have happened and I needed to know if Im pushing down the open auction. This is not slippage from my orders clearing through levels the moments after the open.

And yes there are ways to adjust this without abandoning the at open order. I can limit my system to a certain volume and set lower equity amount for lower volume stocks. Adjust the system (Make a second) for higher volume and larger trades for a second block of equity. Its not as profitable but I wont have equity just sitting around.
 
Look at a one tick chart. A 1 tic chart is not a one minute chart. Why are those odd lots less than 100 shares trading? What does the size of the trades tell u about the possibility u will get a reasonable idea where the open will be? Calibrate your backtest to enter at 5 minutes after the open which is when u will have access to real data.

Lose your attitude. There's nothing u can say that matters to me. It compounds your compreshension problem.
 
Again...I dont care where the open will be as long as I get the open. Do you have anything to say around that?

Go look at your first post to me that is dripping with attitude and belittlement. Do you think your post count entitles you to be a complete ass with no recourse? Do you think that actually contributes to a discussion?

I could give two shits what matters to you, you are only king in your own mind.
