12:49:55 PM ET Trying to get out from the MICC trade with a trailing stop (no time to follow the market, too tired after a busy week). CQDJQ down by 0.1 points from $11.6 - Good Until Cancelled Trigger type : bid. Got filled later at 12.1. Good job with the exit, albeit I was somewhat fearful of high close without pull back and a gapdown open on Monday.

1:00:46 PM ET Put on a limit ($9) order for a TEX OCT 85 Call contract. And got filled later.
