Thoughts

Another four day week due to the bank holiday. 
Equity markets were weaker, mainly on continued trade tensions.
Crude oil was weaker too.

Again short of my 2.5% weekly benchmark.



During May I made 61 trades and a net return of 3.39%, not an easy month that's for sure.
Looking forward to better trading opportunities in June.


Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
