Today was a headline-driven day, influenced by tweets and erratic price action. It ended as a winning day, but it wasn’t an enjoyable one to trade.
The initial move couldn’t be taken due to my broker blocking the order, which was frustrating as it would have been a valid setup.
Overall, it was a small green day, but nothing significant.

The first trade wasn’t executed in real time because my broker blocked the order. It would have been a winning trade.
The second trade was a win, with price continuing downward after entry at 9:45 AM. The move developed slowly, resulting in gains of 67.50 on the first contract and 82.25 on the runner.
After that, the market became choppy and unpredictable. I took two consecutive losses that erased most of the earlier gains: -23 on both contracts, followed by -35.75 on both contracts.
Due to some slippage, I ended the day with a profit of around $50.
Total Profit: $50.28
