Thoughts

A difficult week on the equity markets. Markets were range - bound for most of the week. I scalped a few points off the FTSE, as well as stocks, but it was very tricky going all week.


Well below my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

We have a long weekend since the LSE is closed on Monday for the bank holiday.
And the start of the Vuelta on Saturday.

Hopefully we'll see better trading opportunities next week.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
