We must wait for a good market
I decided to trade at the minimum for now or not trade at all on dead days. During this month I have 1 plus day, the rest are minus. This is not because I have become bad at trading or have forgotten how, just now there are very few opportunities to earn, but I don't want to take a small profit, so I stop only in the red. We need to wait a little ... I think everything will start to walk well at the end of the month, тогда и заработаем, but for now let's wait it out ...
