5 Fills Out quickly too much to handle short +.20, +.24(testing), +.03, break even Long -.05 I use yahoo to get my data and was wondering if I should use Prev Close or Last Trade.
I use yahoo to get my data and was wondering if I should use Prev Close or Last Trade. [/B][/QUOTE] i don't get why you use yahoo...why wouldn't you use your trading platforms qoutes... i use last night's close...if it is different in the am then i block it....
No fills. Blocked a bunch on news. In general, you want to use the closing price for your stocks, wherever you get it. But as a caveat, check to ensure that the closing price was not a big gap from where it was trading the last few minutes in the day.
Started off good but got hammered by a 47 cent loss on one: 2 long winners, one long loser +.03, +.05, -.47
7 Fills Long +.01, +.15 Short -.01, +.08, CFC(test scratching off my list)-.18, +0.2(test) One thing I did wrong on todays open was focusing on my losers than my winners. My losers I lower my share size too, to see if it goes bad again.
Geez, 13 fills - 10 winners +$1200 Program had a bug after about 7 fills, stopped, was pretty exciting from then on, LOL. Out by 9:41 - probably "could have" finessed a bit better (getting older I guess) Don
Isaac, right now I'm just learning how to do this, so I'm only 200-500 shares maximum on each one I enter. Fortunately, the 47 cent hit came on a stock that I decided to go for 200 shares on. No news on it either. Looking at it right now, it's down another 70 cents from where I got out!
