Another excellent day with the great volatility. A near record day for me for volume, with 817k shares traded on 4300+ tickets. Great two-day end to an otherwise poor month. I hope the volume and volatility will last another week or more before the slow markets return.
Today: +$165 net, 6 ER2 contracts traded (2 blotters combined 'cause 1 server went down so I had to log into other) Yesterday I was at a new low and will strive going forward to trade ONLY signals from my systems that I have high rate of confidence in and I will not make discretionary trades EVER. Still hanging in there... P.S. - To those that asked (I see their comments got deleted) - I am a retail trader and my balance can get as low as $1500. After that my broker would cut me off until I fund back to $5000 min. as I understand it.
