To mitigate the loss, I'm running the routine on a smaller list of symbols, the large caps, and also on my list of innovators. Thus will be complete before the end of the trading day, allowing production of a shortened "Prospects" report and further analysis as needed.
I will then run the entire process, allowing me to post a full Prospects report either after the market close today or over the weekend.
I have one symbol, DHI, that publishes earnings on Monday prior to the opening bell while also meeting most of my criteria for a trade under my Volatility Rules. It is borderline high on the bid/ask spread. I'll do an analysis if the spread shrinks; otherwise, not.
