Thoughts


First full week back in Europe.

Markets were weaker, and weak Chinese trade data didn't help the bulls.

Well below my 2.5% weekly benchmark.

Poor trading, took a loss on a BHP short which was not clever (although a positive overall return since the BHP trade was smallish.)

Looking forward to better trading opportunities next week.


Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
