Limited Trading Day
Opening session was good this morning. Realistically my trades executed themselves... stops are nice that way. It's nice to see some profits hitting, even if it means those positions aren't going to run any further.
Only a couple shorts remain in my old broker account. Once I get the funds in my other accounts I will likely pick up the pace again.

Nice profits here. Shame the positions weren't larger, but that happens sometimes when position sizing is dictated by risk management.

Open Trades
While everything else about an open trade is established at entry, the ‘stop loss’ order will be adjusted periodically over the life of a trade. The idea is to move the stops at key price points and let the profitable trades keep running.
Such a slow day, I didn't even move any stops.
