slips

In case your are interested in reducing slippage, Elder has a book called
"The new sell and sell short"
In it he grades the trade as follows...The buy grade..
The high of the day minus buy price, divided by the high of the day minus the low
of the day.
This results in a percentage. Above 50% good, above 80% superb.

The sell grade...the sell price minus the low of the day, divided by the high of the day
minus the low of the day.

The trade grade..exit price minus the entry price, divided by the upper channel line
minus the lower channel line.

This relates to day trading, but you can get the gist.


By measuring your performance, you improve you entry/exit strategy.
Therefore you reduce your slippage..(no pun intended).

Just a thought.

Hi Slips,

I was hoping that some others might have been able to provide you with some thoughts here. But let me offer the following:
  1. There are many ways to determine where a Stop Loss could be placed on a stock. We can provide ideas on this if you want.
  2. Once you work out the price at which you want the stop loss, it is very useful to mark this on the chart. You can do this by placing a short Line Segment across the chart (I use red coloured to distinguish from other lines I draw), and then you can rely on the IntelliCharts feature to automatically remember this line on this stock for the next time you display the chart. Or you could "Save" the price chart in a good folder somewhere - it saves the stock, time period, and all indicators and drawing tools that you have placed on the chart.
  3. To Alert you when the real price actually hits this level, you could use something like the SMS alert feature that yoru broker might offer (eg. ComSec does this), or use the BullCharts Alert feature (in v 3.8.6 onwards - I think). Note how the ALert works - wither on Snapshot data, OR on End Of Day data.
Hope this helps address the question. If not, let's know and we can provide more details.

Cheers

This a pref. share of BBI.If BBI stays afloat (7out of 8 brokers rate it a hold or better) the pref.shares are a bargain.They will pay 1.15% above 90 day bill rate until 2012.At todays price of 9.5 cents that's more than 4.0 cents pa---and in 2012 bbi will buy back for $1.00 or give you $1.00s worth of BBI shares.That equals another 25% each year.To repeat it all depends on BBI not going bankrupt,though even then you may get something back.
Speculative but a possible multibagger.

$110 mill.just raised @ 0.30. Should pay a secure distribution of 5.5 cents pa.On todays price of 0.31, that's 17.5%.Better than a poke in the eye with a sharpe stick!]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:49:51 +0000 http://www.bullcharts.com.au/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=539&PID=1966#1966 Stock Chat : Trading Options http://www.bullcharts.com.au/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=533&PID=1940#1940 Author: peter1

Hi Chris, most of the cfd players have gone broke in these highly volatile times.
ASX options depth, spreads and availability are a joke. ]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:54:01 +0000 http://www.bullcharts.com.au/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=533&PID=1940#1940 Stock Chat : Trading Options http://www.bullcharts.com.au/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=533&PID=1932#1932 Author: Chris_R

Hi all
 
Had to share my find with others Smile
 
I just got back into day trading again.... been a while.
Found out my Sanford account has been taken over by Commsec.
Commsec really suck when it comes to trading options. (Sanford were great)
 
So I had to dig around and stumbled on this site http://www.compareshares.com.au/options_home.php
Which pointed me to this site
http://www.optionsxpress.com.au
 
Much better than Commsec's rubbish.Angry
 
Does anyone still trade options or has everyone moved to CFDsEmbarrassed
