Thoughts

A volatile week on the equity market, the FTSE broke the recent high above 6700, then sold off on Thursday and into Friday morning, before rallying, then selling off to make a new low for the week on Friday afternoon. Very volatile conditions altogether.

I made over eighty trades, which is busy by my standards. Just scalping the index for crumbs really.

A few poor entries and exits, especially when I bought the FTSE in the early hours of Friday when the futures were pricing a serious drop at the open, then the market rallied strongly, oh well...

Still, well north of my 2.5 % benchmark.

 

Looking forward to more opportunities next month.

Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.

Thoughts

A fairly busy week's trading. Equity markets were strong early in the week, although they sold off pretty quickly.

Miners made gains, with AAL, BHP, GLEN and RIO all making 52 week highs.

Well above my 2.5 % benchmark.

 

Looking forward to more opportunities next week.

Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.

Thoughts

A better week's trading, equity markets over in the US made new all tine highs, although the FTSE is still well off its highs. 

I was scalping the FTSE and made a couple of really poor trade exits.

Well over my 2.5 % benchmark.

 

Hopefully I can continue this form for the rest of the month.

Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
