pulled one off this morning. straight in and out for 20-ish pips. had to take dog to the vet so no trades until early evening. still nursing it and has been in the red for the majority of the time. no reason to bail on it right now.

market is sideways ... waiting on rate announcements? whatever it is, it's not doing me any favors. one trade today which has gone no where, but in the negative. i might move my TP to even before i close up.

totally blanked on the daily trades yesterday. most available would have been good for some pips ... instead, the account has taken a bit of a nose dive, but still in the positive. will continue demo-ing until i get solid on these.
