A better day in the markets after some early morning choppiness. I got cute and took a couple of trades in the chop, which didn’t work out (what did I expect trading the chop?) after which I was left to scramble to get back into the black before the end of the morning. Once the markets picked a direction the rest was “easy”. But my early losses only left me $80 to the good.
