Chuggin' along - Week in review (Jan 29 - Feb 2)
Didn't do much this week at all.
Just sitting and waiting. Lots of earnings came out. The market dropped a bit, then popped right back up the next day.

Weekly SPY trade is all. Not finding many opportunities recently. Patience.

- Closed Net Profits/Loss: $364.58
Bunch of my positions closed. Took profits a tiny bit early on V for some reason. Must have been a typing error.
Also, my SPY position was only qty 1 by mistake. Otherwise would've been a $400+ week.
Notes and Lessons #
Been quite slow for me recently, in regards to new positions. Starting to get that itch to make a random trade.
Profits keep rolling in though thanks to my weekly trades on SPY, MSFT, etc. Guess I should be happy about that.
Thinking about adding/testing some new strategies out, or perhaps adding some more companies to my Long Term Trend strategy.
