    odd. maybe lescor or echopatrick kicked ass?

    I got filled short on CC, RDC, EP, LEN, FDO. FDO was a big fat loser....

    or perhaps I just got lucky on the stocks i picked??

    Today was a dud. Average fill rate, nothing special. I upped the size in about 3 dozen stocks rather than send more orders.

    The two fills that sucked the most ended up being double size. Actually if not for S, I would have made some money, but I lost 2400 on him. Two red weeks in a row for opg's for me actually.

    I got 5 fills on 28 stocks today... which gave me a 10% fill rate... I normally put orders on 80 stocks or so and get filled on 3 orders (around a 2% fill rate...)

    must have had orders on the right ones...

    I'm actually red this week on opg's... lost 2000 this week b4 today...

    later

    mnx

  6. What I truely find amazing about lescor, is that although he has had two down weeks in a row, he is unphased by this. When many other traders are ready to throw in the towel, He just keeps on trading the strategy....his confindence is unwavering.

    Lescor, you are an inspiration to all!

  7. Having a few million in the bank buys alot of confidence me thinks.

    A few million, LOL. I trade opg's from an account I keep at around $25,000. Believe me, if I had a few million in cash, I wouldn't be working 10 hour days.

    As for confidence, it's pure numbers for me. I keep detailed statistics and have numbers going back almost 4 years now. Two losing weeks in a row happens a couple times a year, nothing unusual about that.

    Today's result:

    Winner: KO (Long, 5 cents)
    Loser: FNM (Long, 8 cents)

    FNM was crazy off the open, it went down 55 cents against me and shot back up in 2 mins...... horrible :(

  10. 3 long fills, 2 wins 1 loss, +80 net.

    Recently I've been getting one knucklehead that prevents an otherwise decent open...
