MHR at 4.44 (down 5.5% from my entry price). Better than yesterday's low.
MED up to 32.19 - I went back and looked at my limit order (set at 31.75) and it was filled at 31.73 instead. Not much help, but it is better than it geting filled at a higher price. Currently up +1.45%.
This week's portfolio down $101 (1%) as of this writing.

I got killed with big gap down on PCBC I am going to hold this for a fade the gap play....
TUES totally tanked Friday looks like it is nearing a resistance level so am going to hold and see what happens Monday
MED sold out for a 5 dollar loss.. 37.97 so I have $4992 in cash..... did not use all 10k at the start.
not looking very bullish on any of these...... can we short in this thing or is it long only?

I haven't been doing anything on this one in a while. Mostly been out of the market (since late April). Looking more at Connor's ETF trading strategies right now.

I've been tracking the progress of this for the last few weeks, using a few tweaks of my own. Papertrading a $5000 account, and looking to enter 1 long and 1 short each week if possible. I don't short anything priced under $5, since some brokers do not allow this.
Here are my results for the last two weeks:
Date Stock Direction Entrance price Shares Profit Total
7/6/10 - 7/9/10 HPP ( 1st stock not < $5 ) Short 17.1 290 247 5247
7/12/10 - 7/16/10 HPP ( 1st stock not < $5 ) Short 16.41 150 -21 5226
7/12/10 - 7/16/10 ERY Long 57.29 40 82.8 5308.8
For this week, the filters show a buy for SKF, and a short for CRS. We'll see how things pan out.

Not a good week for SKF and CRS in the direction I was in. Stopped out of CRS for a 10% loss, and closed SKF trade for a loss at close on Friday. Total capital now stands at 4875.
For next week - FAZ long, LPX short.
