i had to do a quick cancel on my dow baskets this morning so unfortunatly i ended up cancelling my opening orders as i had to do a cancel all.... indications came out negative instead of the positive pre market trade and i had to reverse on a dime... so needless to say the timing could not have been worse... i had one fill ...pep...+495.00...tltc... would have been awesome...even with my currently reduced size...system said: 23 fills / 21 long / 2 short / 22000 shares / 5000.00 plus... at least i covered my dow futures for a profit....
Had lots of stocks pulled for news, and cut my size in half. 3 long wins, although 2 unfortunately were on tiny test positions, +183
blocked some...didn't quite know if it would make a difference or not... widened my envelopes to twice their size... +/- 1% 1.5% and 2% 8 fills / 8 longs / + 1179.00 9500 shares
+25K playing SUPER SUPER conservative. Could have been a 6 fig day easy. But my first goal was to stay employed as a trader today.
Got behind in my morning prep and didn't get any orders in. Most of my roster was blocked on news, and it looks like I wouldn't have gotten filled on the few I had left.
