Day 4 of balance. No idea how much longer. By tradition it should move on up to a new all time high. Or not.

Day trader reminder, ATR on 5 min is 4, 2ATR stops should never get taking if your "A" class entry were good. if not you need a new trading system. LOL

ES 5 minutes.
Chop city. A good day to not play.
Even so, there were a couple of opportunities for scalps. Timing is essential.
