I was working with ToS to get realtime trade info working, so I missed the beginning of the day. I was trading this ETF very well except for one glitch. I'm planning on using a per share price structure for my commissions (leaning toward IB). With this structure, I plan on scaling in and out of stocks. I was testing this concept through ToS and was trying to use a 200 share block size. I didn't set the default right and ended up with a 1000 buy in an aggressive position. Instead of taking a small loss on that aggressive first entry, I took an $800 loss. So today could have been better.
