Thoughts


A bit of a crazy week on the equity markets.

We saw a lot of volatility, with the FTSE breaking the lows of early August, making a new low just above 7000. I'm not sure whether we will retest these levels in the coming weeks, October can be a volatile month. The index ended the week over 3.6 % down.

Short of my 2.5% weekly benchmark.

For September, my net return was just + 2.19%, with 64 trades. It was a difficult month.

Looking forward to a better week next week.


Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
