Don's openings and more for 2005

  1. When you get filled long and short like that, you are basically hedged. So have patience, the only positions you need to worry about are those that start moving against you hard and fast. Then you can wait for the market to move to manage your exits and make money on the trade.

    Good trading to you!

  7. 4 fills, 3 winners 1 loser, +408

    Don't forget the Steelers play in the second game on Sunday. Don't worry about last week's scare with the Jets; without the 2 cheap touchdowns the game could easily have been a 24-3 mauling. :D

  8. A little off topic just rermember that Giants lost their best end in Strahan and went 1-7 and the Jet lost theirs and almost beat a 15-1 team! Have a great weekend.

    I've been trading for 8 years but just started the OPG strategy two weeks ago. I've had a very good start (not a losing day yet on OPG), but my envelopes were a % at first (.4%), and have gradually gotten tighter just to get more fills.

    I feel like I'm playing with fire when I change my envelope, and I wonder how you adjust this according to long term beta vs. short term beta, if at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm sorry. That last post was supposed to be to Don, Lescor, or Mschey. But whoever wants to respond, please do!

    Thanks
