Thoughts


Another week, and we saw some volatility on the equity markets.

Miners were weaker, the FTSE mining index losing over 600 points on Wednesday.

Made some poor trade exits.
(The reason the net return is low given the high net BPS is that the two trades on MTRO were very small in size).

Well short of my 2.5% weekly benchmark.

Away from the markets, the TDF is coming to an climax this weekend, with Alaphilippe having lost the maillot jeune on Friday on the weather shortened stage in the Alps.

Looking forward to more trading opportunities next week.


Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
