    Ouch - sorry to hear that. Assume you were mostly buying? What envelope size were you using (if you don't mind revealingthat)?

    Yes, mostly buying (only 3 were shorts). My envelopes are different for each stock. They are based on the FV difference, stock beta, and implied volatility. No big deal...its only paper money :) I am trying to not let my emotions get in the way so that it doesn't skew the data.

  5. Seems like a harsh day for everyone.
    The ES smelled down and I was more conservative on the long side.
    Quite busy for me with a single laptop screen in class...
    6 fills, 2 longs, 4 short.
    4 winner, 2 loser. +8$ net 1100 shares. Can get a decent pint for it, lol
    Still on 100 shares on most but got filled on second layer on 4 stocks.
    Got to improve my reaction, I was totaly shaking with 4 open positions. Boot camp in Nepal, lol.
    Would have been a decent day but I got in EXC even though there was an upgrade. I implemented an automated thing in order to not trade them. I copy paste earnings/div/UpDowngrades in Excel and then a macro parse the list. But my macro dosen't account for the difference between "EXC" and "EXC ". Had to happen for me to correct it!

    Really love that OPG thing.

  8. 4 fills
    1 long, 3 shorts
    3 winners (+0.07,+0.15, +0.09), 1 loser (-0.23) = 10$ net on 900 shares. A pint plus tip.
    GLW is the loser, maybe I could have cut it on little pushing but I try to reduce the number I cancel since many news seems to have no effect.
