Don's openings and more for 2005

  1. Not a bad day.

    15 fills. All short. But a perfect classic opening. Only 1 loser and 1 break even. +3010 on 18300 shares. Looked at some theoretical #s if I didn't get stopped out on pullbacks and could have potentially made another $3350 if I could have closed out at the theoretical lows (like that would ever happen).:) :) :) :) :)

    I'll bet some people made some big money today.

  3. 84,800 shares. Most positions 1500 to 2400 today. Only one greater than 2400. 21 fills. I guess I looked at indications on 80-100 stocks and threw some orders in stocks that I don't do every day.

    Insane today. Sent an additional list of stocks to cast the net a little wider just in case it was one of those rare witchings, which it turned out to be.

    I had so many fills so fast that I thought something might have been wrong with my prices and was overwhelmed so I canceled a bunch of unfilled orders. Mistake.

    41 fills, all short. 38 wins. $26,000 on 282,000 shares. Woulda had another 21 shorts and 2 longs without canceling which probably was a 10-15 grand oops.

    I traded very very inefficiently too. Just buying with abandon, not really looking at individual stocks, all I saw was a sea of green. Full automation woulda been killer today.

  9. thanx...

    i adjusted my spreadsheet to +/- .75 and to +/- .5 and the fills and p&l grow exponentially...

    +/- .75% p&l x10 18 fills

    +/- .50% p&l x20 38 fills

    it is amazing the difference by just moving a small percentage....
