Thoughts


Another pretty active week.
Equity markets were again volatile, with the FTSE making new 52 week lows on Monday. Tuesday saw a strong rally, and then Wednesday saw the markets sell off again. Then on Thursday we saw a rally on stocks. Of course, volatility is what the trader needs.

Some of my trade entries and exits were pretty poor this week.

A shortened week due to the Easter holiday, next week likewise.
Above my 2.5% weekly benchmark anyway, although should have been better.



Looking forward to more opportunities next week.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
