Thoughts


A busy week on the equity markets. The FTSE broke below 7350 again on Friday. Commodity stocks were all weaker.

Another difficult week's trading, I made some very poor trade exits, especially on the short side.
Well short of my weekly 2.5% benchmark return.


Hoping for some decent trading opportunities next week.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
