Fairly quiet yet nicely profitable day. No fireworks like yesterday but enough scalps and 1:2ers to make it worth our while. Overall, very nice week, third in a row despite it being August.

01[10:03] {&Threei} and SPY goes up
01[10:03] {&Threei} see, this sharp drop was a reaction to the first line:

01[11:30] {&Threei} or that
01[11:31] {&Threei} also, my math shows I can read fewer letters than I can write
01[11:31] {&Threei} so I apply my effort where I get better leverage
01[11:31] {&Threei} see? it all makes sense when you don't think about it
01[11:33] {&Threei} although some say letters I write can't be read... but I think they are just jealous
