My Plan for 2013....

Keep Grinding out those profits...

Summary Week Ended Friday 28th Dec 2012

Just 2 stock trades:

1 BLT + 1.86 BPS

1 STAN + 12.15 BPS

Stocks net + 14.01 BPS

All long trades,  all intraday.

No index trades.

Thoughts

A pretty quiet week, LSE closed for 2.5 days dues to Christmas.

I traded 1 day. 

Markets remained in narrow ranges on lowish volumes.

Not really worth the effort this week.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Summary Week Ended Friday 21st December 2012

7 stock trades:

3 AAL + 18.46 BPS

1 BG + 2.91 BPS

2 BLT + 15.41 BPS

1 STAN + 18.14 BPS

Stocks net + 54.91 BPS

4 long trades, 3 shorts, all intraday.

No index trades.

Thoughts

A pretty quiet  week.

I traded 3.5 days. 
Markets remained in narrow ranges on lowish volumes. Next week is Xmas, so a shortened week for the LSE.

Still, a small profit for the week. Well off my 500 BPS weekly target, but we have to take whatever the markets offer.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

A rather quiet  week, I traded 4 days. Markets remained in narrow ranges. Tough trading conditions in general.

Still, a small profit for the week. Well off my 500 BPS weekly target, but we have to take whatever the markets offer.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Summary Week Ended Friday 7th December 2012

5 stock trades:

2 BLT + 30.56 BPS

2 STAN + 17.20 BPS

1 XTA + 7.85 BPS

Stocks net + 55.60

No index trades.

Thoughts

A lacklustre week, I traded 4 days. 

Markets in narrow ranges, and the hoped for pull back on a weak non - farm payrolls report didn’t happen.

Still, a small profit for the week.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Weekday Analysis

For some reason, Wednesday seems to be my best day.

Summary Week Ended Friday 30th November 2012

12 stock trades:

1 AAL + 9.11 BPS

7 BLT – 54.81 BPS

2 STAN + 5.63 BPS

2 XTA + 45.78 BPS

Stocks net + 5.71

No index trades.

Thoughts

A difficult week, I traded 4 days, poor trading on BLT resulted in giving back earlier gains, so the week ended up flat. 

Better than a loss anyway.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.
