  2. No buy orders entered when we are opening so far up...since we "expect" a quick sell off from a gap up...not good to buy a "weaker" stock in this scenario.

    Wednesday 3 fills, 2 shorts 1 long, all winners +13 cents.

    CPB, GE, HD.

  3. Had more shorts today which worked out.

    Don I will have to check my stats on your statement. What you are saying makes sense but my open is all stat based.

    I had FV at +0.498%.

  4. Not everyone excludes one side or the other, Ijust like to keep the new people with as high a win/loss percentage as possible.

    Near flat opening use .5 on each side. Today, with approx 5 point Spu up open, I used .3 on sell, and .9 on buy to assure my buy would be below yesterday's closing price.

    All the best,
