Roger that Did you get in a tick before, at the tick or a tick after? (If I ask too many questions, feel free to tell me to f off) The way I understand it, most people here (including you, I thought) get in a tick or two <i>before</i>, which gives you some fakes, but [Edit: usually] avoids criminal slippage.
Aren't you giving to much consideration to these storms. Not that I know, but if it ain't Cat 4 or 5 I wouldn't consider it.
urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Didn't get fill in 78.95 urghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't watch CNBC, but I follow the weather and some of the spikes/pushes over the last couple of days have coincided with the release of upgrades to the storms. When you say Cat 3-4 that may be applicable to *damage* of installations, but storms do *close* rigs Of course, all of this could be just in my mind and after all the price action reflects any possible storm, but coming into the close I think this is something to ponder - as opposed to, for instance, whether we close above/below some MA I'm still -4.62 in the red
I normally play a breakout through a high or low of the day by entering via a limit order a tick or two ahead of the test. Yesterday for some reason I placed a sell stop at .59 and saw price fall to what I thought was 12 ticks in my favor. I put in a 10-tick stop @ .57 and saw that the level was not profitable. WTF, I thought, checked my blotter and saw the .51 fill. Never again.
