My understanding with a $10,000 Account example: If OV thinks you have $10,000 in the account (BP set at 100%), it'll plan on buying 100 shares of a stock that closed at $100. If the stock goes up to $102 at the open, that 100 share order will then be too big for the account ($10,200). So, I've been using 95%... IMHO, that would mean OV would think I have $9,500 and put in an order for 95 shares based on the $100 closing price. At the Open of $102 x 95 = $9,690 and the order still goes thru...??? Just thinking - but maybe I'm confusing OV BP with TP setting, Mark [Edited by Mark Holstius on 9/6/2016 4:43 PM] | |
