He trades each stock and pair in different sizes and ratios, of course. Usually 5,000 share trades for the most part. Don
4 fills / 1000 shares each 3 short / 1 long +65.00 short = loser .... not blocking nearly as much -.8 / +.7 %
Up about $276 this morning...I added a couple of stocks, now submitting 10, we'll see if we can keep the consistency with a few more fills each morning. Don
1 long, 1 short, 1 winner, 1 loser, -180. Was getting my butt handed to me on the short for 25 cents with no easy out until it finally took a breather. Still took a 10 cent hit on it.
I read bad news on HPQ, I mention it to bootcampers, I stay in anyway, it opens at 23.95 and immediately drops to 23.70 - oops, held on a bit, but still down 250 for the day (gotta start listening to myself, LOL). OK, back to work... Don
complete mental screwup this morning... 10 fills / 1 short / 9 long -87.00... -.75 / +.75 % should have been ..... 5 fills / 3 short / 2 long $???.?? - 1.0 / + .5 % forgot to change skew on entry software... system says correct percentages would have made money... to make things even better i sold 5 dow baskets on michigan news even though i was only long 4 from the am opening....(meant to sell only one) got lucky though... after 139400 shares and a really bad cover on the extra basket +262.00 on the day.... i think its time for a vacation....
6 fills/ +169 All losers or flat except for CSX. What a sweet fill on CSX. Too bad it was only 500 shrs. I imagine that's what all the fills were like "back in the day", right?
