Hey Guys,
The market got tested yesterday, and it ended up holding its ground. The S&P 500 took a dip below the bottom of the range it's been in, but it came back up by the end of the day and is around the same spot this morning. The S&P 500 is around 6,800 right now.
I took on two new positions today. Both were in the stocks account. They were trades for EMR and IR.
With the trade for EMR, I actually made a mistake. The watch list called for an entry at 133.34, but I accidentally typed it in as 133.94 when I placed my order. When that order got filled, I loaded it to the website. It wasn't until a bit later that I realized I had entered at the wrong price. The good news it that the EMR trade setup still falls squarely in the zone of the backtested edge. The main downside is the confusion it created, and I appreciate your patience! Good ol' human error pops up every once in a while in trading.
If you have any questions, just reply directly to this email.
