  2. 4 fills, 3 shorts, 1 long
    2 winners (+0.04, +0.06), 1 flat, 1 big loss (-.22)
    -75$ 900 shares
    Loss is long KO, really nothing I could do. I held a little by looking at the ES but it kept going.

  3. Another quiet day of small fills. Even with tiny size, this BUD was definitely not for me. No news that I could find.

  4. At 9:55 on Yahoo...

    BRUSSELS, May 23 (Reuters) - InBev (INTB.BR: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's second-largest beer producer by volume, said on Friday it had no immediate comment on a report on the Financial Times website that it was working on a $46 billion bid for Anheuser Busch (BUD.N: Quote, Profile, Research).

    "We have no comment to make at present. We will look at the report," a spokeswoman for InBev said.

  9. Hi guys....had to catch up on the last couple of days. I agree that this lends itself to real trading vs. paper trading... however, if you have a fully automated program, run it for a couple of days then swithc to just a few hundred shares for a week, then get to "normal" when you're comfortable.

    Last couple of days I made: $120,000 and $140,000 on the opening. LOL.

    My other account made about $180 and $75 today (new redi configuration, testing spreadsheets).

    Have a great weekend, and Chiguy, don't forget about the June 5 get together.
