Since the market is tanking and buying a call is a sure road to a loss, I did not bother to enter those orders. I did take a look at the bid-ask for a few of the closes. Some were at 90 to 95% loss and others were at around a 50% loss. I did not look at all of them. There were 15. Today ATM3 issued 2 more buy to open calls. Again I did not bother to enter them. I think I have it correctly configured to trade in both directions (showed you my configuration in a previous post) so not sure why ATM3 does not issue some buy to open puts. That would be the only money maker in this market. I saw some posts in other threads indicating a couple other folks were going to try ATM in their small accounts. If so, how did you do. It seems to me that ATM3 needs some filtering and ranking to be able to come somewhere close to match on the right edge what we see in portsim. Also needs to get puts engaged either by use of the short side of the trade plan or with the hedge tab we saw in Ed's beta version. Of course, the market this week may not be a fair test. But that is with 20/20 hindsight. | |
