Hey Guys,
The market dipped again overnight, but by the time the US market opened this morning it was back around the same place as when I wrote my email yesterday. The market is exhibiting signs of volatility.
My MES futures position hit its stoploss overnight. Another futures strategy fired this morning though (MT 73 for those interested) so I bought it and also posted its stock equivalent using the SPXL ticker.
In the low-priced account, my stock position for CL reached its time limit so I closed that out. It had a half-sized profit. In that same account I bought stock for VST and STT this morning. STT reported earnings before the market opened. It had been in a strong uptrend, but due to the earnings report it came down a lot in price and met my back-tested trade criteria so I jumped on it. I like trades like that because sometimes when there is a big red bar in that situation, it's like a rubber band that is being pulled too far and could snap back to some degree.
In the main account I bought stock for SYY and RJF. Those tickers came right off the watch list. I had buy limit orders set up for them this morning at the Potential Entry Price listed on the watch list, and they filled automatically.
In the extra options account I grabbed options for SYY and PNC. Yesterday also ended up with a some late morning positions, which included options for XLF, MU, and WDC.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
