Hey Guys,
The market is still hovering in roughly the same spot as it was yesterday. We've seen some sideways price action over the last few days here.
Overall in my main account in the last two weeks, I've profited on 11 trades and lost on 1. That's a nice spurt of profitability. I'm still recovering from the drawdown I took in the first two months of the year, so that's a nice move in the right direction.
I had four different stock positions reach their time limits today. All four closed for a profit. In the main account I closed out NOC and GD. In the low-priced account I closed out HP and HPP. That HPP trade included a dividend in its profits.
My GD options trade reached its profit target yesterday. I have an HCA option that is at its time limit today, so I'll be closing that at the end of the trading session today if it doesn't reach its profit target first.
I only had one new trade today so far. It was for OFC in the low-priced account. In the main account, the price for Walmart met the entry price from my watch list, but my order wasn't filled, so I didn't post the trade. I only post trades I make in my own live account. As to how my order would not be filled even though the price of my buy limit order was reached, I've asked my broker that before. They've told me in the past that sometimes there are off-market orders that get filled and affect the price candle, but that don't reflect buying or selling pressure in the live market. So in other words, maybe there weren't any actual sellers this morning at my buy limit price. I'll continue to leave my order open and see if it gets filled later today.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
