Pulling teeth day. Started with couple missed trades that jumped over the trigger with no chance for entry; continued with couple stops; then 45 cents win on BIDU and 20 on BP turned day into slightly profitable. Then SY came where we caught perfect short entry and then proceeded to beat ourselves up for covering too soon - just couple dollars drop instead of 9-10. Oh well.
