Summary Week Ended Friday 26th July 2013

12 stock trades:

9 BLT + 89.77 BPS

3 GLEN - 162.78 BPS

Stocks net  - 73.00 BPS

Long and short trades, intraday and overnight.

No Index trades.

I traded 5 days this week.



Thoughts

A difficult week, although I actually made a small overall £ profit, since my trades in GLEN were very small size compared to BLT, as this is the first time I have traded GLEN (GLEN recently merged with Xstrata which I used to trade quite regularly). My exits on GLEN were very poor.

Quite a volatile week all in all, FTSE was down 75 from last Friday.




Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.
