Quiet day in terms of data and risk events more weighted to the middle and latter part of the week.

Overtrading and not following a plan at its finest (not knowing how to play slow grinding moves)

What do you do with a 1 lot - ride it or scalp it?

My thought on the morning was that price could go higher.
