I didn't get MRK today....but got filled on 6, 4 profitable, +$450... Pretty low volatility now, and probably will be until mid September....adjust accordingly. Smaller envelopes, a bit more patience. Don
You sold MRK on the opening? I guess you're using bullets, good job no.went long on open 49.76 sold 50
Vhehn, you were LONG on your MRK fill today, no? yes it opened 49.76 i instantly put in a sell order for 49.98.they paid me 50.00
don.should the average size of a stocks first print influence the selection of that stock for an oo play? it seems to me that you want a large enough print so that the specialist has to reach for shares in the case of a long.if he has to reach for shares it seems like he would be more likely to make the first print more extreme to ensure he can replace those shares at a profit or if he has to short to fill the order he can cover at a profit.tia
Had 5 fills, all long, and had 4 winners. My only loser was GE, a .05 loss. Sold the four winners to soon, if i had held two minutes longer it would have been a big day. Missed getting a fill on MRK by a dime.
