Hey Guys,
The market has been relatively quiet so far to start the morning. That's the first quiet morning we've had in about a week, although another dose of volatility could hit at any time.
I had some more trades lock in profits. My TTD options reached their profit target yesterday. And in the stocks account, both my UNH and NSC stock positions reached their profit targets yesterday. It's nice to see some profits coming through after a tough week last week.
I've only purchased one position so far today. I bought shares of AU in the stocks account.
My trading platform didn't fill my order right away for AU. I had a buy order in for it before the market opened, and it took four minutes for the order to be filled even though it qualified for the fill the moment the market opened. Every once in a while that happens, and I've learned to go with the flow when it does, especially since I have no control over it. Sometimes it works out in my favor, and sometimes it doesn't. Today, it worked out in my favor since I got a lower price due to the delayed fill.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
