filled on four 2 winners 2 losers.....txn clobbered me all my longs lost $ .....any body else find the same thing happening to them?
No, no one else has ever lost any money, ever, ever, ever....I thought you said you came in long txn...?? don
Don I did come in long.....then bottom fell out.......I start manually putting my orders in 15 min before (22 tickets in all on redi), by the time I finish putting in my orders, maybe the spooze had changed quite a bit? I wish I could just automate it.....I used .85 today. Second day of using oo and not much success net -net yet. any suggestions?
Everybody has to "whine" sometimes. I made pretty easy money on 4 out of 5 ($840)....but it should've been much more. I sold LEH on the opening, he went down, showed a .62 cent bid. I went in at .64 bid...and went about my business of closing other stocks. He printed .64 (several thousand shares worth)...he offered stock at .71. Well, I didn't get filled at .64, so I try to take out the offer at .71, assuming "no problem" I'll pay up, make a small amount on LEH. 2 minutes later, he goes .71 - .90 , no fill. Then he runs it up another 65 cents!!! Turning my $1400 profit into a loss. Well I waited for the market to turn around (he was past his 1 std. deviation for the day, so I waited). He came back down and I ended up losing a little on LEH, but making the $840 overall. We don't allow much "whining" - but stuff happens to the best of us at times. Don
Well My automation software didn't have the bugs in it today. 5 fills. and netted .32 overall. I'm taking 2 of the stocks out of my list as they are just too thin near the open even though they have volume. Rtharp
