Another negative week on stock markets. FTSE closed below the 200 DMA for the first time since November 2012.
Well short of my 500 bps weekly target, but a profit is a profit I guess.

A poor week really, and again STAN cancelled my profits on other stocks and on the FTSE.
Both the FTSE & Dax made new 52 week highs, although this was not reflected in the mining stocks.
A very strong finish to the week, be interesting to see how far this rally can go.

Summary Week Ended Friday 10th May 2013
16 stock trades:

Stocks net - 872.90 BPS
Long & short trades, intraday & overnight.
Index trades:
1 FTSE + 8.15 BPS
Net total - 864.75 BPS
I traded 4 days, Monday was a bank holiday.
Thoughts
A really poor week, I was short STAN near the weekly highs, but closed the trade because results were due out the following morning, and there was some strength in the stock. The following morning (Thursday) STAN gapped down from 1700 to 1641.5. I went long for the reversal, which never appeared. It could have been worse I suppose, and fortunately STAN didn't gap down on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, both the FTSE & Dax made new 52 week highs on Friday. The FTSE closed above 6600, last time it did that was Nov 2007.
I will recover from this loss, but it certainly gave my confidence a knock.

Thoughts
A fairly quiet market with Europe closed on the 1st for May day
US payrolls on Friday resulted in a very strong rally with both the FTSE & Dax making new 52 week highs. Miners also reversed their recent weakness.
The GLEN/XTA merger went ahead and hence XTA is no more, which is rather sad for me.
Well short of my 500 BPS weekly target, but still a modest profit.
Stay disciplined.
