End of Day emotions: It was another mix day with slow choppy action as market is waiting for CPI numbers. I was able to generate some nice cash flow, but this kind of slow choppy action makes things hard to hold trades for too long. I’m happy with risk management but need to reduce the number of trades when market gets slow. Need to keep my focus and repeat the process over and over again!
