Thoughts

A quieter week, and I was not able to find many trades.


I closed a couple of FTSE trades very prematurely (short trades, I am always more nervous trading the short side, something I need to work on I think).

A profit, but well below my weekly target. I had a discussion about targets on Livecharts.co.uk, and it may be that my weekly target of 500 BPS cumulative may be a little high. 

Therefore I may also target 2% return on capital per week, which is more modest and therefore more likely to be acheived.

November is progressing well, but I have to be careful not to give back my profits next week, so I will be trading very cautiously.






Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.
