Thoughts


A difficult week. The equity markets made a strong recovery from last week's lows.


I took a loss on a short position on BP, after it rallied strongly post results.
(The disparity between the negative net BPS and the positive return is due to the UK100 trades being larger than the BP trade, which was a partial position closed).

Below my 2.5% weekly benchmark.

Looking forward to better trading opportunities next week.





Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
