URTY: The stop rose sharply Monday night because IWM fell below its SMA(s).

[cash]: Negative balances for much of the week — I bought TZA with unsettled funds, but kept it until the funds settled.

ATML: There is a “sell” order for Monday’s open.

TNA: Robot purchase failed due to not enough settled cash.  I put in a reduced order using available cash, but shouldn’t have bothered because the market dropped sharply right after that, and kept going until it hit my stop.

SRTY: Failed to buy on Monday due to lack of cash.  Failed to buy on Friday because robot ran out of memory at 10am.  I should add a batch job to reboot the server every morning.  I should try a newer version of Opera or maybe switching to Firefox to reduce memory leakage.

TZA: On Wednesday, IWM’s PPO rose above my cutoff line, but its price was falling so no “sell” order was issued.

YHOO ²: Skipped due to lack of cash.  Would have been a loser.

YHOO ³: Skipped due to lack of interest in bullish moves during what seems to be a downward trend.
