Seems like you've done well to me. You should have made you target for the week by now?

Sell Order: Synergy Health Mar 11 Spread
Limit Order: 874
Stop: 912
Target: 800

I'm out freelancing today. So lets see if this sell order gets triggered. Otherwise my open positions in Barclays and GKN are slightly lower, but they have some room till they reach the stop losses.
