Good days and bad days happen.Sometimes you have to scalp 15 cents at a time, sometimes you can get away with a bit over a dollar, and sometimes you wish you held on for another 15 minutes as it goes up another 10 cents which happened. SLF always feeds me but I'll never get rich trading this stock.
I hit CM then quit it for a day. When the band is that narrow scalping 15 cents at a time it's risky and I'm glad my last CM trade didn't go through because it broke support and is slowly recovering. You can never be sure what happens even when you chart. Sudden news of CIBC purchase of assets? BAM 3.3% drop.
I don't trade often, but when I do, it's when the market is in distress. Like after brexit.
