A Choppy Day in the Markets, Still Managed a Win

Today wasn’t the smoothest ride. I kicked things off with some poorly timed trades, ones that ironically would’ve paid off if I’d just held on. I bailed on a buy position on AUDUSD trying to catch a downtrend that fizzled out fast. Fortunately, a EURUSD long I’d set up earlier saved the day, keeping things steady.

Later on, I jumped into the NASDAQ 100 futures with a small 0.003 lot size. That trade crawled to a £1 profit. Nothing huge, but solid. As I’m writing this, I’ve been scalping the NASDAQ again, the price action has been wild due to the FED rate cut decision, and managed to bank another £2.30 using a 0.004 lot size.

That brings today’s total to £3.78, a tidy 4% return on my trading capital. Not every day is perfect, but staying nimble and managing risk kept me in the green.
