    If you were really lucky and bought during a one minute window 5 minutes before the close, you might have made 15 cents. I got some of that, but paid up for the rest (my sell order was already in). Bought right before the close and lost a dollar 30 seconds later on the MOC print. It was obvious that there was an imbalance to the other side because so many people were playing it. It was only a week after the GS moc and I think that attracted many more players.

    I've done them before and never made more than 20 cents or so, it's pretty much a crap shoot. The play now is trading the action into the close as everyone positions themselves.

    as for MOC orders, some times they work and some times they don't. GS, when it was being added a few weeks ago, closed around 72-73 and changed and printed 77 if you had MOC orders.

    Nadaq additions are more fun to play if you like some excitement, an example would be EBAY.
