I'm done for the day with ER2...don't have a good feel for it and I've been taking weak trade signals all day. 12:26

Will just keep my profits in it and call it a day.

Exit all EuroFX EC @ 1.28500 (+0.0001) 12:40

I could be done with EuroFX EC because rarely do I get any trade signals in the afternoon session. 12:41

Thus, looks like I'm going to eat a small loss today in EC...

no biggie.

Will check back in after a long lunch break.
