one short fill 1000 shares $121 net. FCX..... and that was on 104 stocks... must be slow out there... almsot makes up for how it hammered me last time... later matt

Quick $100 in GE. I'm setting up new program...it's pretty cool...sets up with all sorts of variables including betas and volatility, automatically searches for News items for each stock, breaks out by sector, automatically sets up a portfolio on Yahoo, any stocks that need adjustments based on news, dividends, earnings etc. pop up as "adjustments needed"...places "retracement" orders for a percentage of shares to buy/sell from original opening amount. Stop Loss strategies are inputed...multiple layers.....geez, so much cool stuff....this is going to take a while to master just the procedures to put in proper parameters...but should be well worth it. We'll see results starting in 2006.... Don
You're just doing that stuff now? Where ya been the last two years? Just kidding (kinda). Hope your program kicks some butt in '06 and you finally take more than a nickel on all those winning trades.
I've been using another program for my "full size" openings..and only posting my "manual" results here so far. I'm just going to kick it up a bit... Hey, I may be "old and slow" - but these young kids try their best to keep in the "here and now" .... Maybe make dimes, eh? LOL Don
+$250 today, 2 fills. Still setting up new program....hope to test next week prior to actual launch in 2006. Everyone...please have a Great and Safe Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, or whatever you call your winter Holiday (I've never been real PC, but I try, LOL). All the best, Don
i'll go first... 1 fill short 1000ibm... -5.00 stopped out just before it broke...oh well.... very quiet....have great holiday ya'll
Don in looking at your trades throughout the year it appears that your profits are quite small. I mean 200 one day 185 another day. I am quite confused I thought with all your knowledge you would be raking in a lot but I actually feel that in reading your posts you probably ended the year in the red. Only a 2005 tax return will demonstrate your real results.
