Can someone explain what they mean by "blocked"? I am also wondering if the hybrid market will kill this strategy?
No orders entered in stock because of news, gut feel, or the coin flip went the wrong way. Going electronic will likely reduce or take away alot of the edges we use to have on NYSE. Rest assured, there will be others, and we as traders will find them, and make money. That being said, transition is never fun.
1 short win on small test position, +99 Good attitude mschey! Steelers play at 4:00 Sunday. Don't give up yet...
3 fills / 6800 shares / net long 2000 2 long / 1 short / +80.00 - .8 / + .7% blocked 11 of 87... AVP got away from me today (280.00)... not enough hands in regards to blocking or not entering trades...i have found out...the hard way...better to over block and err on the safe side and live to trade tommorrow...todays example was TGT...not sure so it did not go...woulda worked though...oh well...
Canceled a bunch on news...I too learned the hard way many times & would rather cancel than take a chance with news stocks. The majority (if not all) of large down days on OPG are usually due to a news item. No fills today or yest. Good weekend to all.
6 fills / 10800 shares / net short 6500 5 short / 1 long / +360.00 - .85 / + .65% blocked 6 of 87... got my first fill on a stock i've been working for a year... it was like reading a book in a foreign language... happy monday all...
2 long (1 win 1 scratch), 1 short win, +97 Fatfingered the short exit or today would have been much better. Gotta quit drinking so much at Steeler games
3 fills long GE +.04 HD +.05 TYC +.06 Got price improvement of 2 or 3 cents on exits, like usual, I hope this doesn't go away when the stocks convert to hybrid. Maybe they will still do the sweeps within the first few minutes after the open. No fills yesterday.
3 fills / 5400 shares 3 long / +97.00 - .45 / + 1.1% blocked 12 of 87... not a good day to be long...out quick...:eek:
