I did not place any trades on 01/04/18. Suretrader was having technical issues and was not allowing me to place limit orders on positions I had enough cash to pay for. Some long scalp setups I tried taking that actually would have followed through on my entries were on LINU and KOOL, and one on CNET that did not end up following through. I probably would have ended up being profitable on the day.
At around 9:50 AM EST, Suretader ended up fixing its trading glitches but only after peak market volume was beginning to wane off. I tried going in for a scalp after a circuit breaker halt resumed on GBR but did not get filled at my limit price of 2.23. I cancelled my order and saw GBR reject its move sharply. CPAH was about to resume from its halt just moments after GBR's sharp rejection, but I was mindful enough to stay out of this trade after GBR's major rejection. All in all, no trades for the day.
01/04/18: First trade of the day was on the first intraday 1-minute bull flag setup on CHCI, which broke out a few minutes after the opening bell. The stock had no news, but I was able to get a nice scalp near the top of the move for just over 20 cents of profit per share on 400 shares. Closed the trade for a $74.02 net realized gain, which was a good start to the morning.
