Automation Recap November 1, 2018

• Strategy: Bull Puppy
• Stock Ticker: CI
  
• Entry: 222.72
• Exit: 219
• Profit:  -$252.69

Talk about getting in at the very top. Uggggly Trade. This strategy return hasn’t been great recently. I’ve been working on a newer improved one but with the markets being bearish recently, its hard to get some good (bullish) data to work with.

  

• Strategy: Bear Kitten
• Stock Ticker: AEO
  
• Entry: 21.76
• Exit: 22.35
• Profit:  -$207.10

Second time in a row getting stopped out with Bear Kitten. That hasn’t happened for a long time. This strategy is performs exceptionally well when the markets are more bearish and clearly with this weeks market sentiment, it’s not working. While I don’t hate this trade, I could have should have, would have taken profit manually but I didn’t….

  

• Strategy: Bear Cub
• Stock Ticker: MYGN
  
• Entry: 40.25
• Exit: 39.04
• Profit:  $450.40

Now this is what I’m talking about! A lovely trade that made my day. It took 22 minutes to hit my target. Perfect setup.

  

• Strategy: Bear Cub
• Stock Ticker: XPO
  
• Entry: 82.13
• Exit: 82.95
• Profit:  -$150.30

Well, the party wasn’t over yet. By the time this trade stopped out, MYGN hadn’t hit the target yet and I was down a fair bit amount already today. There was a lot of movement in the first 45 minutes of the market open for this XPO. I’m going to review the strategy to see how this one managed to trigger today.

  

• Strategy: S Curvenator
• Stock Ticker: TAP
  
• Entry: 66.46
• Exit: 66.60
• Profit:  $32.77

Profit is profit right? Not a huge gain but it will certainly make the beer taste better tonight. Manually taking profit near the top would have been nice but I was sure this trade would slowly grind higher.

  

• Strategy: S Curvenator
• Stock Ticker: PWR
  
• Entry: 32.71 
• Exit: 33.35
• Profit:  $293.76

This one did slowly grind higher and we got out near the top of this rising channel with the timed exit. Overall a nicely executed trade and we can see that the changes I’ve made to the strategy this week started paying off.

  

• Strategy: S Curvenator
• Stock Ticker: BLL
  
• Entry: 46.33
• Exit: 47.41
• Profit:  $450.30

My second target hit for the day and certainly a beautiful trade. The target was hit when we hit that little pop squeezing any shorts left in BLL. S Curvenator certainly brought its A game today and helped offset the earlier losses of the day.
