2016-09-20 Summary

Daily P&L: +1.25 (2 trades, 1 loser, 1 winner)

Trade Summary
Trade 1: Choppy day. Didn't think the market would break 4811.50 based on the charts. Early on the entry. [-4.00]

Trade 2: Could have held out for original profit-take price, however with the choppiness it looked like the market was reversing. [+5.25]

Multiple opportunities to go long in the afternoon, however I did not take them. Definitely surprised at the strength of this afternoon rally though with the impending FOMC announcement tomorrow.
