I expected today to be a little slow with it being Columbus day. Even so, I was able to make a nice 6 points. This pales in comparison to a few of the days last week, but that makes no difference. All I’m concerned about is taking what the market shows me. And for the volume today, I’m very pleased with my results.

Lesson of the day- Be patient and wait for compelling trades. It would have been easy for me to get caught up in the chop and over trade, possibly even sit at my computer all day. Instead, I recognized the market volume and acted accordingly. Beautiful start to this week!

5 trades, 3 wins, 2 gifts, 6 points Net, 30 minutes.
