My Daily Market Report

None of my stop loss orders triggered today. I had four buy orders kick in. I bought CHRD at $5.84, GGB at $23.23, GTI at $14.30, and NKTR at 22.08. My buy on NKTR was rather disappointing. My buy order on that stock was at $20.15. Didn’t the stock open at $21.80? By the time my order was processed, I was filled at $22.08 at 9:31 am this morning.

I placed stop loss orders on CHRD at $5.49, on GGB at $22.60 and NKTR at $21.32. I have two nicely winning trades in play – GP and IONA. I’m showing a 9.2% profit on GP and a 12.5% profit on IONA.

Look at ESMC and you’ll see one I missed. I owned this stock a week or so ago, but was stopped out. I should have kept an eye on it. I could have gone back in and made a 50% profit on it in three or four days.
