Hey Guys,
First the update about PM options. PM has an ex-dividend date tomorrow, and I don't want to hold the options through that. So I updated the website to reflect a new "Close By" date of today, and I'll be manually closing that position near the end of trading today unless it reaches its profit target first.
My option position for BUD hit its profit target yesterday.
In the stocks account this morning, I had three different positions reach their time limits (PLD, CAH, and FE), so I manually closed all of them at the opening bell. All three ended up in the loss column. None of them was a major loss; when you add up all three together, it's less than hitting the stop loss on one trade. But it's still not ideal of course, and it's a blemish on what has otherwise been a month with a high win percentage.
With those positions out of the portfolio, it opened back up my buying power in the stocks account. I bought a new position in there this morning for FIS.
I also bought a position yesterday in the options account for Visa options. That one has gone down a fair amount in price since I bought it, but I still like the look of that trade setup.
My stock trade for ACN will reach its time limit tomorrow unless it hits a profit target or stop loss today. I noticed that they're reporting earnings before the market opens tomorrow, which might create price volatility. I will stick to my trading plan, but if you want to sidestep any potential volatility, you can consider closing the position today.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
