Profit Run for April 30th, 2014

Most FOMC days make for difficult trading, and today was not the exception. The markets lacked follow through across the board. I managed to eek a few trades into profit, but it was a grind. Slow days like today require you to go to either end of the management scale: either have really tight stops or really loose ones; anything in-between is likely to get tagged. The $255 profit doesn’t reflect the effort.
