one scratch trade today.
I was in and out doing other stuff, so missed the ones that would have worked.

Here is my opening statement with my private info blacked out. I am not going to be around for a week, so, not trading. I may watch charts today a little bit and if I see something I will trade it, but it is unlikely since we are getting ready for our trip.

There is no way I will have a million, but I think I will be able to be profitable and my account is definitely the right size. If I decide to drop out, nobody reads this anyway so nobody will know. Win/win for me.

I'm not sure what would be required for proof, but here is my order log and my equity.
