I've only been watching the Nasdaq. I didn't realize the S&P hasn't been chopping for the last month.

 

Nice way to document your progress, although it seems to be a very small position, it's like continuous monitoring of a small investment.

I have scalps that fluctuate in capital more than this.

 

Yeah it's been slow and choppy recently.

I never figured out how scalping could be profitable. If you've got something that works, keep it up!
