It's not that hard really to recognize a tough trading environment when you see it coming... well before the opening bell. Today, my goal was simply not to dig a big hole trying to capture some emotionally-backed volatility... In such environment, just breaking even can feel like a victory. But in truth there were a number of excellent signals today in the YM and the RTY that I simply failed
to engage. ...but things will calm down again in the immediate days ahead.... they always do...
...so keep the powder dry... One thing you can always be sure of, things never stay the same...
