I am trying out a new OO method, but i am "paper" trading it going forward because my backtesting has a positive outlook and i want to see how realistic the fills and situations are. My platform allows me (my spreadsheet) to enter and exit trades realtime, but in a paper fashion, thus allowing me to factor in slippage and fill likelihood. The new method arose with the NYSE hybrid system. I feel that the old way works great, but the new way might better fit the openings that i am seeing. We shall see. 16 trades / 0 Blocks 10 long / 6 short 14 winners / 3 losers 12 AutoTrade / 4 Manual Close +1610.00
took some time off... increased my size...got whacked... slow on the trigger today... 13 fills / 14400 shares 6 long / 7 short / - 3748.00 let 2 get away...would have saved 2900 if i was not quite so slow...damn......
We have all sorts of programs for the openings. Send me a PM if you like. We have basic Active-X for manual exits, and we have semi and fully automatic spreadsheets available. Small Monday, 2 fills +$220. Don
Today 2 shorts - 2 wins 1 long - loss 2.6 cents loss avg per share. Loss was double the share size, could have been much worst. Friday 2 fills short 2 wins, 6.2 c/s avg, strange, expected more fills with such a gap up
