buy at open today ? We haven't had a good up day in 2 days now. They've also managed to push the market up lots in the overnight session from the lows.
your were correct - it closed up. Easy, eh? now you've got the odds in your favour again! Long and strong
If you are going for simple, drop in an order and a stop loss then why not: i) go flat betweeen 9:30-10:30 ii) go flat after 10 or 15 points met iii) close half the order using above criteria and remaining half close at the end of the day Years ago there was a fairly popular journal or thread by easyrider (?) I remember following (not sure of the name, but an oldtimer on ET) with a similar approach - drop in an order a day - complete with simple spreadsheet. He was calculating next day based on the open price and the range (again don't quote me on that, something to that effect).
