The Opening Orders Thread

This question is for experienced OO traders. Hope Don and Lescor will share some info.
Where do you guys find the ex-dividend date and relevant information when doing the OO strategy? (assuming on the ex-dividend the stock will gap down? yes? no?) As I remember Lescor usually do a little bit over 400 stocks in the morning, so there is gotta be a fast, systematic approach to get rid of stocks at the ex-dividend date from your list of Opening only. Is there a web-site like briefing.com which shows all the upgrades and downgrades before the open?

thanks

 

Not sure of the question, please expand on it and I will do my best to help.

My RediPlus has a column in the quote window for ex Div dates. My spreadsheets searches for news as well. I publish up and downgrades for my traders each morning here: www.stocktrading.com/Tradinginfo.htm (and I tell them to check on their own as well).

sorry Don, but what is RediPlus?

 

I pull ex-date and dividend amount into my spreadsheet with dde from esignal.
I use 3 or 4 different websites to check for news, upgrades, etc. Briefing's platimum level service is pretty good for only $20/month.

Redi Plus is an order entry platform.

 

The Goldman Sachs exectution platform.

thanks, it should be XDate on the head of column, right?

 

2 fills / 7000 shares

1 long / 1 short / +400.00

 

cancelled a bunch on earnings/news.....no fills

 

School this morning, manual on one screen, only 10 stocks no fills. I will put in 20 or more tomorrow (a bit tough to juggle all this on my laptop while being projected on the wall, LOL).
