Today was FOMC day. I only took one trade, and even if I had traded more, I still likely would have lost money. I did some research and it seems that trading on FOMC is acceptable, so from here on out I will include those days in my plan.

That said, I have not liked these past two weeks at all. There have been very few winning days, and this is easily the roughest stretch I have had. It is frustrating, especially because it comes right after the time I chose not to trade while I was in Hawaii. I am really regretting that decision now.

I will not go over all the trades since I did not actually trade, but I will include the chart. If I had traded all day, I likely would have lost around 120 dollars. Instead, I ended up with a gain of 22 dollars with one small trade. It is definitely frustrating.
