Stock-trading robot

The robot seems to be working again!  This just got done around 2:40pm on Friday.  But I have yet to see it make a trade.  Meanwhile, Schwab has a typo in the JavaScript for their login page (“TypeError: Cannot convert 'TagParameters.DcParaemters' to object”) which is causing occasional problems — but the new CentOS 6 operating system allowed me to upgrade to Opera 12, which no longer rejects lots of other JavaScript on Schwab’s pages.

SRTY: Skipped these trades because the robot was not working.  SRTY ¹ would have stopped out.

URTY: Skipped this trade because the robot was not working.

ATML: Took this trade because it’s daily rather than hourly, so less dependant on having a functioning robot.  On Tuesday, my buy-limit was the low of the day and only ¼ of the shares I asked for were available at that price.  Finally got the rest of the shares on Friday, followed (of course!) by a “Sell” signal for next Monday.
