Thoughts


A really difficult week, some pretty poor trade entries and exits.

Still, managed to exceed my 2.5% weekly target.

Markets saw a huge rally after president Trump's speech on Tuesday night.
Lots of volatility on the mining stocks, in the US Alcoa was up nearly 10% on Wednesday.
Of course this didn't last, and the sector saw a sell off  at the end of the week.
Overall pretty pleased with my net result after a challenging week.

It's a lovely sunny Friday morning here, and I fancy an afternoon off cycling along the coast.

Hoping for some opportunities next week.




Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
