Wounded. 9 fills, 8 longs, 1 short, 7 winners, 2 losers. One loser on big volume for me that killed one month of profits. Worst day so far, by far. Nothing really I could do. Don, I also almost became an investor in GE,
Forgot to mention. -0.17 on average. Just made a small modification to my program to help prevent such bad results. Perpetual evolution.
Cancelled 50%, played a larger envelope. 10 fills, 3 longs, 7 shorts. 7 winners, 3 loser. + 0.08 average. Decent day.
I just played GE this morning (although some traders in the office did really well with multiple fills)... made about 17 cents. Interesting day, I came in early to check overall sheets, glad to say all is good, probably net ahead firm-wide. Yea for hedging, LOL. Don
I skipped doing openings, not sure what I was in for with this market news stuff. Maybe it would've been fine to do my openings tho.
Still widenned the envelope and cancelled 50%. 7 fills, 6 longs, 1 short, all winners (2 mostly flat). +0.09 average.
I broke one of my cardinal rules about pre-market trading. Started buying GE from 23.40, down to 22.12 approx. So, I didn't do the opening, which would have been great...and ended up losing about $200 (was down $1200, LOL)...."coulda" been great...really, really, weird GE trading this morning. We'll see what tomorrow brings.... Don
I've been watching GE, all of a sudden it turned into a different stock, almost like it's some oil stock. I hope your GE guys took it easy.
A bit extra volatile, that's for sure...everyone seems ok so far today. No big "layering" today.....either be right, or get out, LOL. Don
