Monday closed at $90,375.59, down a tiny bit (−0.23%). Scanned 220 stocks and only one looked good enough to buy, but AVB got skipped because its price jumped 168.8% overnight, which isn't something worth trusting. No buying or selling happened — it just held onto what it already had.

Friday was a quiet one — the account ended at $90,581.89, barely moved (+0.07%). We looked through 220 stocks and only found one worth considering, but that one, AVB, had jumped 168.8% overnight, so we passed on it as too risky to chase. No trades went in or out; we just held what we already had.

The account finished the day down 1.13%, closing at $91,158.06. Out of 220 stocks checked, only three qualified, so more shares of MU and F were bought since both hit fresh 20-day highs and bounced back up off their average price, and both were already winning positions being added to. HUM got sold automatically when it hit its stop price but we don't have the result on record, and AVB was skipped because it jumped 168.8% overnight, which was too wild a move to trust.

Bought some AAPL after it hit a new 20-day high and bounced off its average—it's been a winner lately so the position was added to. Passed on AVB since it jumped 168.8% overnight, which is too weird a jump to trust. Account ended the day at $92,192.57, down 0.39%.

The account ended the day at $92,556.18, up a little bit from where it started. Wells Fargo got bought more since it hit a new high and bounced back up nicely, Altria got sold for a small gain after sitting around for a month without much happening, and Deere got sold for a good gain after just two days because it moved fast. One stock, AVB, got skipped because its price jumped way too much overnight to trust.

Account ended the day at $91,487.71, up half a percent. It bought Deere after the stock hit a fresh 20-day high and bounced off its average price line, and bought Williams Companies after it bounced off its average price line with momentum building but not yet overheated. It skipped AVB because the stock jumped a huge 168.8% overnight, which was too weird a move to trust.

Monday your account closed at $91,031.21, basically flat, down about 0.06% for the day. The system checked 220 stocks and found only one worth buying, but it skipped a stock called AVB because its price jumped 168.8% overnight, which looked too weird to trust. In the end nothing was bought or sold — it just held onto what it already had.

Bought into NVDA and HUM after both broke out to fresh highs and bounced off their averages, and sold ETN for a loss after 21 days of it just not working out. NVDA's stop got triggered by the broker later, but that trade never made it into the records. Account ended the day down 0.99% at $91,088.08.

Today the account dipped a little, ending at $91,980.73, down 0.11% for the day. You sold MDLZ for a small gain after holding it 27 days without it really going anywhere. Out of 220 stocks checked, only one looked good enough to buy, but it got skipped because its price jumped 168.8% overnight, which looked too weird to trust.

IMAX broke out to a new high and bounced off its average, so the system bought in and picked up two more names on top. BMY got sold for a solid gain after nearly two weeks in, and IMAX itself was flipped for a tiny loss the same day it was bought. Overall the account slipped a little, ending the day at $93,347.93.

Today the account barely budged, closing at $93,859.54. The system checked 223 stocks, found 7 worth buying, and added more Ford, GM, and PSA shares since they hit new highs and bounced back up. It also sold GM after it jumped too fast and locked in a small gain on PM when its stop-loss kicked in at the broker.
