"Wow...I can't give details, sorry.....but we have one trader making well over 6 figures this morning on the opening strategy...this beats our old record by about 30,000 or so.....Filled on over a hundred stocks" wow that guy has nerves of steel.couldnt imagine filling on 100 stocks in a market like this.
Don I assume you and your Bright traders enter limit orders at a cetain % below or close to where the futures will open? or on gap down days do any of you just enter market orders OPG on the NYSE ? thanks for your time
Don, When you relate the performance of individual BT traders (other than yourself), do you have their permission to publicize such results? While I am not the trader who made over 100K in a morning, I would not like that result (or any other result or mine) put up on a public message board, if I was such a trader. Many traders do not share their results even with other members of their office, let alone the rest of the world. Are we not a "proprietary" trading firm, not a public firm? - AnonBT
I never divulge any single traders name or account or anything like that. This "record" thing kind of took on a life ot its own a while back, and I thought it might help cheer people up a bit. All trader numbers are reported monthly to regulators, no where else. And, in this case, there were several who did the same thing. I respect your privacy issues. Don
4 longs, 8 shorts, grossed $3.05. Similar results yesterday. The action in the first few minutes wasn't too wild, so I found it a lot easier to manage things.
