ER2 EuroFX EC +7.10 +0.0006 $710.00 $75.00 Trading Perspective: Trading day was ok while not great. Missed an easy and repetitive short signal in EC soon after my exit of a Long position.
As for ER2...I'm satisfied with the result even though I was trading small size only via Long positions due to my overall bearish bias about the market.
