Hi Frank,
I get a negative cash balance of $2,650 when I plug in this week’s trades into a spreadsheet. In other words, it appears to me that more securities are being bought than the cash available to buy them. Can you please verify that there isn’t a mistake in your suggested trades for this week and that the cash balance after executing these trades wouldn’t be negative?
Thanks,
John
Hi John,
according to my “books” the system was having a cash balance of about 5% or so (from previous week).

Frank
Hi Frank,
Can you please confirm what amount of cash would be available after executing this week’s trades? You wrote “3%” above, but, I believe this is incorrect. Please double-check.
Thank you,
John
Hello John,
I do see your point …. sorry for my mistake.
Will correct it with next weeks post!

Frank
