Thoughts


Another volatile week on the equity markets, the FTSE broke last week's low on Tuesday morning after more developments in the ongoing trade war between the US and China. Then we had a rally on Wednesday which continued to the end of the week.

A very difficult week, mainly scalping points on the FTSE, I closed a couple of short trades very early, well short of my weekly 2.5% benchmark return.

Hopefully I can find more trading opportunities next week.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
