Thoughts

A poor week's trading on the equity markets.
The FTSE was pretty range bound between the 7320 - 7450 levels.
Meanwhile, in the US the SPX made yet another new all time high, above 3150.

Again below my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

Looking forward to a better week next week.

Thoughts

A difficult, frustrating week on the equity markets.
The FTSE made a high for the week above 7400 on Tuesday, then sold off over 200 points to trade below 7200 on Thursday, before rallying on Friday and ending the week positive.
Meanwhile, in the US the SPX made a new all time high, above 3125.

Not a good return, well below my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

Looking forward to a better week next week.

Thoughts

A bit of a nothing week, I was busy with some other matters.
Commodity stocks were weaker after results from BP and RD Shell.
The BREXIT deadline came and went, it's now been extended until the end of January (2020..?)

Well below my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

October was not a good month - I made 66 trades and produced a negative return of 1.23%.

Looking forward to a better week next week.
