Thoughts


A decent week's trading.

Well north of my 2.5% benchmark, in fact my best week of 2017.
A good start to the month.

Struggled to find decent trading opportunities early in the week, but Thursday and Friday saw more volatility. I made a couple of very poor trade exits.
Miners were strong midweek but sold off towards the weekend.

Hoping for more opportunities next week.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
