    6 Fills

    4 longs - 2 shorts

    .04 + .11 + .06 +.01 + .05 - .16 = .11

    Very scary day for me... fills were fast and all against me... had to wait a few out awhile to either break even or take a bit of profit.

    I'm sorry I'm using the right order type that automatically cancels, I just can't handle more than 3 fills @ once. So I manually cancel the rest of my orders. Because when I first started trying this I was using 100 shares and I had one last order that finally filled after about 7 mins from the open and there was no news and it went -.72 CTX no sling shot just a really bad print. I have this mentally now that the longer I wait i'll be put in a situation like that again.

    Today two fills both short and today I stopped manually canceling my orders when I get filled.
    +14 & +.5 gonna bump up my shares size again on the stocks that I made money on.

  5. What I tell my guys to do when they have a fear of too many fills is to simply click "cancel all my orders" and then put in the 3 or 4 you need to have in.

    FWIW,

    Don :)

    3 fills all losers one stock had news on it and ruin my judgment on all my other stocks I got filled on. I do check before the bell but it was announced @ 9:15.

    Short -.17 good news
    Long -.03 could of cover my lost and made more :(
    Long -.03 small profit

  7. Raytheon managed to steal $100 from me today. Bought 3,000 shares, auto sell went in for profits, they only took 1300 shares up 6 cents, then dropped..."coulda been worse".

  8. 1 long scratch.

    Not a surprise that getting filled long today would be an uphill battle...
