Thoughts


First full week after the New Year holiday.

Very difficult trading conditions, markets rallied strongly off the lows of the Christmas week, with the FTSE hitting 7000 again on Friday morning, before selling off later.

Took a few losses on BP and GLEN shorts (very poorly timed entries on both), offset by gains on BHP, AAL and UK100.

Well short of my 2.5% weekly benchmark.

Looking forward to better trading next week.





Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
