Thoughts

 

A busy week's trading. Equity markets sold off on Monday, with the commodity sectors being badly hit.
We saw some rebound on Tuesday and Wednesday, with crude oil having a very strong rally. On Thursday equity markets sold off after Wall street reversed its gains on Wednesday night. Then we saw a rally early on Friday.

Miners and other commodity stocks were volatile again.

I made a few poor trade exits, including selling BP too early into the rally on Wednesday, and closing a couple of shorts into the decline on Thursday. I also closed a MCRO long trade criminally early on Thursday - patience....
North of my weekly 2.5% benchmark anyway. 

I made 77 trades during June, with a net return of just over 13%.
Looking forward to better trading opportunities next month.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
