Day Summary: Wow, the bulls are back! The buying campaign was on from bell to bell today and I was able to catch a good long with it. Looking back, it is very easy to say "I could have made ______ if I just held" but I executed my set up in the direction of the trend and help to my full preset TP. You can't ask for more than that so I was very happy with today's performance.
