By Edgar Ortega July 28 (Bloomberg) -- NYSE Euronext will begin to charge brokerages for transactions at the open and close of trading in the U.S., while also cutting fees for its largest clients. The New York Stock Exchange will charge a fee of at least 5 cents per 100 shares for trades executed during the opening and closing auctions starting next month. Opening trades, which were previously executed at no cost, will have a fee cap of $10,000 a month, the exchange said in an e-mailed notice to clients. The Big Board will also reduce its trading fees for customers that handle at least 130 million shares a month. Those clients will pay a transaction fee of 17 cents per 100 shares, down 1 cent from before.
(Trading in front of 55 students, geez, LOL). All manual, just 10 stocks. Tuesday no fills Today, 2 fills, TGT and HPQ both winners. +16 cents. Don (Stupid nickel per 100 shares, geez, I hope we're exempt, but I doubt it...maybe we fit under the GS $10k max)...
3 fills, 3 shorts, 1 winner, 2 losers, flat. Cancelled 75%, larger on longs. Watch out, Don is on a breakout above 10k posts
Stop bothering the sponsor of this website or he will have you banned. Its obvious that Don makes most of his money from training. That's why he is advertising on this website non-stop. As much as i don't like Don for lying about his business, the OPG strategy has been great over the years. But Don for some reason decided to share it with the world (thanks) and f..ed it up for himself. He would have been way better off keeping his mouth shut, bringing in prop traders at 50% split and teaching them OPG. IMHO. To each own. OPG was the holy grail. It hasn't been for the last 1 year but before that it was free money.
July monthly review; Played 18 days. 76 fills, 27 longs, 49 shorts, 55 winners, 22 losers, -0.007 average. 4 days in the red, 5 mostly flat. First losing month since june last year. 2 days of big losses put me in red. One was a software issue on my side, the other is between me and the broker. So, technical issues asside, I'd be on green. But shit happens and is part of this biz. Not a single good day to speak of.
