April 28th, 2026
There is no way around it. April has been a rough month, especially in the second half. With constant war related interruptions and market moving tweets, nothing has had real follow through. I had a feeling this might happen during my trip, but it still sucks to go nowhere in trading while losing money along the way.
Today was especially tough even just being at home, but I ended up saving a lot of money by not taking a single trade.

There were three trades available today, but I only took two, which saved me about 280 dollars. The first trade came right at 7, but you can see this is where price continued to stop out all day. It was very frustrating, especially since the market had already moved straight down starting around 1 am.
The second trade was a winner, but only for 13 points on each contract.
The last trade was a quick loser, losing about 50 points on each contract, which put me down around 120 for the day. Another rough session. I have never seen such back and forth price action like these past two weeks. There have been a lot of losing days.
Tomorrow will likely be a non trading day since it is FOMC. Those days are typically slow, although there can still be opportunities. It would be difficult for me to trade given what has been happening over the past couple of weeks.
Total Profit: $-120.72
