Volatility Spike of the Day

Profit/Loss Statement

Today's Observation: I'm still testing (simulator) the Photon Trader trade execution platform June 18th Weds - June 30th Mon to determine if the software and broker (Futurepath Trading) will become one of my backup brokers to replace a backup broker I'm no longer satisfy with.

Upon completion of my testing I will state in the chat room only the good and bad about my experience with the trade execution platform, customer support and technical support. In addition, the simulator profits shown above for today will not be computed into the monthly and yearly real money results.

With that said, today's trade posting chat log is below and it contains all my trades that were posted in real-time along with the trades of other members of #FuturesTrades.
