An alright day overall. It started off a little rough, but I was able to recover as the session went on. I could have finished with a winning day, but some of the cuts stopped me out too often, and I also chose not to take the final trade, which ended up costing me. More to come on that.

The first trade came right at the open and resulted in a loss of 41 points on each contract. A frustrating way to start the day.

The second trade was the best trade of the day. It was a short, with the first contract gaining 20 points and the second gaining 80 points.

The third, fourth, and fifth trades were all stop-outs, which kept me from getting back to breakeven and ultimately from finishing the day profitable. I also chose not to take the final trade, and that trade would have been enough to put me in the green for the day.

Total Profit: $-157.40
