Thoughts


A quieter week on the equity markets.
Difficult trading conditions, I found it challenging to find good opportunities, and took a few pretty marginal trades.
A couple of very poor exits, especially on UK100 shorts.
Just above my 2.5% benchmark.

I still think we are due a rally, as were are now in the most bullish period of the year historically.

Hoping for some more decent trading opportunities next week which is really the last week of the year, although the market will be open for three days the following week.


Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
