Its been a long time, plus 10G on 84,000 shares. All positions on short side. I didnt move futures up when at last minutes it gyrated up and as such my future indication is a bit lower and my shorts got hit all over. Max loss is 80 USD
Possibly options expiration coupled with the eminis getting a little wild a few minutes before the open. I've noticed on days when the eminis get out of whack with what I used submitting my OPGs three minutes before the bell, the fills are usually pretty good.
Yeah, everyone I know trading openings had a record day today. Market opening at new highs on an expiration friday along with the jumpy spoos right before the bell was just the right combo I guess. Still, I had way more positions than I would have imagined, 54 shorts on 104 orders. Trading was mayhem, but everyting was good instantly. I think I was up 30 grand within 30 seconds. Just fired off random buy orders as fast as I could type. The market wasn't moving so I had time to keep plugging away and didn't panic. Cashed out with $65k on 400,000 shares traded. Before today openings have sucked for November, I was about flat.
Nice job. looking through this thresd it looks to me that all of the big days are shorts? Is that correct?
7 fills / 1000 shares each 2 short / 5 long -538.00 - .75 / + .75 does anybody else have a love / hate relationship with txn... it was hard to get out of trades today...tried whacking bids and taking offers and only got partials.... only got filled on stops as i was trying to cancel them.... oh well....

Also I got filled on SBL 1 second b4 the open?? eager specialist?? Any suggestions for a new guy?? mnx
I am guessing that the hits I took on TPX and SII have something to do with the fact that they are not part of the S&P 500? Comments please. mnx
