  5. 4 fills, all longs
    3 winners (+0.06, +0.21, +0.15)
    1 scratch (should have been filled on profit target!, I guess my API sent the order too late... have to follow that)
    I'm still on 100 shares but I added 2 layers today.

    Hey gehko - Given your large number of fills last few days, I'm curious - how many stocks do you have on your list?

  8. I havent done openings orders in a few years. My question is mainly regarding lower volume stocks (still avg 1M a day traded.)

    I noticed looking at the time and sales on various listed and Nasdaq stocks, the opening print for the day (according to tradestation) occurs on different exchanges.

    Is there a prefered routing for each listed and Nasdaq to get that print?

    Common sense says NYSE, and NASDAQ exchanges, but I wasnt sure if the game had changed, and you arent always guaranteed a print that opens with ARCA for example, etc...

    Any insight would be great on this. I am trying to find a way to get that Opening print on thinner issues, etc
