Hey Guys,
In my main account I picked up some new stock positions this morning on HUBS and FNV. They came right off the watch list like most of my trades do. I put in buy limit orders for the "Potential Entry" price indicated on the watch list. In the case of FNV, the price I got filled at was even lower/better than the price of my limit order because the stock happened to gap below my potential entry.
In my low-priced account and extra options account, the trades I've made so far (for SLV and CHRW) are double downs of yesterday's trades. Those trades went the wrong way on us out of the gate yesterday, and they set up for the double down strategy today (which may have a bit more edge than my main strategy according to back tests).
My HES stock position hit its stoploss today. Those energy company holdings have been dragging down my portfolio.
A couple notes about potential volatility today:
1) The Fed is scheduled to make an announcement later today about its meeting. This could generate some volatility in the market.
2) There are some companies scheduled to release earnings after the market closes today and before the market opens tomorrow: BLDR, FNV, HUBS, and MGM. These, too, could exhibit price volatility overnight and into the day tomorrow (in either a positive or negative direction).
I personally will hold all my positions like normal because periods of anticipated volatility like this are all baked into the back tests, but you are welcome to flatten any of your positions if you want to try to avert the potential price fluctuations.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
