Thoughts


A really difficult week, the equity markets fell on the news of the worsening situation in China re the corona virus.

Commodity stocks were badly hit, and the FTSE lost 300 points, or just short of 4% on the week. The FTSE mining index lost over 1100 points or 6% this week.  RD Shell lost over 9%.

Well below  my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

For the month of January I made 39 trades and saw a net return of just 0.86%... a very challenging month. The FTSE fell 3.40% during the month.

Looking forward better trading opportunities next month.

Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
