Another “nothing” week.  My realized gains (the red and orange %gain numbers above) add up to just -0.1%.

On Wednesday, the broad market (IWM) fell 2.3%, but my account (me) fell only 0.2%!  I would have gained for the day if only SRTY ¹ had been purchased several hours earlier.  Its trading model needs more work.

FRED: This trade is getting very long in the tooth.  It hasn’t gone anywhere in almost two months!  But it’s not like there’s some better place I could park my money.

ATML: Fell 1.9% on Friday — *after* I sold it!  That would have eliminated all the profit I got.

TNA: Stopped out.

URTY: Sold it on Tuesday, bought it back on Friday for a better price!

SRTY ¹: Another Schwab hiccup.  Bought it manually.

SRTY ²: The trading model came up with a stop price that was ridiculously close to the purchase price (because trading had become stuck in a narrow range for many hours), so this one stopped out almost immediately.
