FNSR: Three losses in one week!  Another explicable downdraft on Wednesday.  Meanwhile, the technical indicators are still hovering arond zero, so the robot keeps buying it back.

FRED: The position size momentarily went to 10 on Wednesday, because everything else dropped but FRED didn’t so it was a larger proportion of my account.  Then it dropped on Thursday to rejoin the pack.

TZA: Schwab fumbled the purchase, so I bought it manually.

SRTY: Normal trade.  This is the first time in months that an inverse-ETF purchase actually went through properly!

FNSR ², YHOO, FNSR ³: These all got the new buy-limit orders, but the limits were higher than the opening prices so they all went through at 9:30am.  So why didn’t I get the opening prices?
