Hey Guys,
The market is still in a similar price zone today as it was yesterday. That said, some sectors are making noticeable moves today. Financial stocks by and large have gone up today. Technology and industrials stocks have for the most part have gone down today.
I picked up some new positions this morning. In the main account I bought STM and AMP. In the extra options account I sold naked puts for TXN and URI. Three of those four positions went against me quite a bit after I made the trades, so if you followed me on those trades you might have gotten a noticeably better price than me.
The positions for STM and AMP both triggered right at the opening bell. I had buy limit orders set up for them based on my watch list and they filled automatically. My normal routine is after two stock orders fill on any given day, I cancel all the rest of my open buy orders for that account because I like to limit myself to two trades per day. It helps me manage my buying power and helps me diversify, and it's also how the back test was run.
My KR stock position reached its profit target today. I also closed two stock positions from the low-priced account that reached their profit targets (CHX and SG), and both of those locked in a modest profit.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
