  3. If you continually get no fills day after day you may want to adjust your envelope, but there will be days when you get no fills. That's just how it goes.

    Once you are filled, every stock will behave differently. You just have to trade them with small size until you get a feel for how they perform. Then get rid of the ones you can't make money with, and bump up the size on the ones where you show a profit.

  4. "And get those slingshot orders in quickly" ....less than 5 seconds is usually a "requirement" - cover 25% or 50% at 6-10 cent profit, then tape read to get more $$, or to get the heck out altogether.
