Opening Orders - 2008

Nope, the SKF is out of whack and broken due to them not being able to short many of the issues that comprise the index. You're better off shorting the XLF.

 

Thanks for info on SKF.

Back to "normal" today for opens. Went in a bit wide, but 3 fills for about 13 cents.

GE was fun after the open, printing in 20 cent ticks, LOL.

3 fills, 2 long, 1 short. All winners, +0.10 average.
Cancelled a lot, played a larger envelope.

 

How have you been faring with GE added to the no short list?

 

LOL, it's been interesting, especially for me, since I like shorting first (to new traders: "do as I say, not as I do" LOL).

I just wait for an additional 20 cents or so past 1 std deviation to buy....but with only a couple days of practice, can't say how that will work going forward.

3 long fills, 2 winners, 1 loser. +0.12 average.
Could have been better.

 

Can someone confirm me that the close on GS is not 133?

Don, could you expand that" 1 std deviation to buy" a little bit?
