Opening Orders - 2009

3 fills, 3 shorts, 2 flat, 1 loser, -0.02 average.

 

4 fills, short all bad. sgp mrk kft abt - 70$ on 100 shares

 

This morning was a bitch on shorts.
Did you consider concelling all orders when the ES shut up from 937 to 939? That's 0.2% on a 0.5% enveloppe it increases the risk IMO.
The FV is an evolving thing as the ES moves.
I find that a lot of bad fills occur when the ES moves by a lot at the first minutes/seconds.
I sometimes cancel all if I dont like the ES action.

 

First loser in a while, got stubborn on MRK. -22 cents.

1 fill, 1 long, 1 loser, -0.08 average.
Played larger on longs.

 

4 fills long, all miners abx ccj gg, -10$.. if i held it little bit would have been $50. but i am getting paranoid lately as I am negative big for the month on this strategy.

 

AU here, gold miners where not the deal of the day!

 

No fills, larger on longs.

 

6 fills long, -8$ worst offender. Could have been -100$ if i waited another 5 mins.

 

3 fills, 3 longs, 3 winners, + 0.07 average.
Thanks to the auto take profit.
