SNDK was the only one that I did any trading with today

SNDK AGN and AGO gave WW short signals at the open and the executions were poor at best. AGO should have either not been traded at the enty it was or much better than where it was. The signal was valid but I was unable to get the order placed in a short enough time after seeing the signal and the price moved to far on me. In the future I will be placing limit orders and taking even more time to enter so I will either miss some or get in at the price that is correct for the risk. Automation would do the trick and I do plan on looking into NINJA for automation with Tradestation to IB. This is on the list but I don’t see it happening soon.

AGO entered very poor but took the stop at the valid price. It then gave another short signal but I missed that at the best price as I was trading the others but I was able to capture some of the losses (about $20 ish ) before getting stopped out again. At that point I was done with it for the day – 178

SNDK was my only real winner today and that was mostly done scalping it which I did not want to do but ended up doing as it gave me quite a few signals both long and short. It was very choppy though and the real winner was probably IB + 111

AGN was another slow entry where automation would have increased the results. + 31

It ended up to be a day of mostly doing homework and I will be spending the rest of the evening doing the same
