Thoughts


Another busy week to close the month of November. Equity markets were volatile again.

Some decent trading opportunities, and above my 2.5% benchmark anyway. In BPS terms my best week of 2018 so far, beating last week's record by roughly 130 BPS.
The lower percentage return than last week reflects the fact that my trade size as a percentage of cash was lower.

During November I made 192 trades, 68 of which were FTSE 100 trades, the remainder being stocks.
It was my best month of 2018 in cash PNL terms, the net return was 14.44 %.


Hoping for some more decent trading opportunities as we enter December.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
