7:45am.    In contrast to yesterday, I was up a few hours ago, as I have a lovely day mapped out ahead of me. I try to buy at least a couple of books from Amazon each week (usually trading related, history or autobiographies) and as I have been away from home for a short [...]

9:00am.    Not a particular early start for me today, I ‘ve only just got up and come down to the kitchen to have a spot of breakfast (poached eggs/smoked salmon)  I have a meeting with my accountant in 30 minutes (he’s doing a home visit) and then I am off to a friend’s farm [...]

08:30am.    I was up and down in my study  by 6:30 this morning, and got a couple of my screens ready with some favourite charts.   Not long after I had sat down, I noticed the start of a signal on my S&P500 chart and at 7:14am I was in a ‘long’ trade with [...]

7:25pm.        I arrived home earlier this afternoon from my summer break in France, and within an hour I was in my study browsing my inbox – I was not allowed to take any laptops or phones on holiday with me, so I will be playing catch-up for the next few days with [...]

08:45am.      As usual, there is no trading for me as it’s Friday once again. I am also off on holiday tomorrow so I have a few things to sort out before I go off in the morning. I have also 4 Skype sessions booked for this morning with potential customers – they seem [...]

11:05am.     I have spent the morning so far doing some emails to potential customers and also talking to a few on Skype, it would seem that people who are interested in buying one of my systems would rather speak to a ‘real’ person before purchase.  I have been informed that this kind of [...]

5:15pm.       Not much trading going on today, the markets are still very volatile after the woeful economic news that’s around at the moment. I did start watching some charts  shortly after breakfast this morning (around 9am) but their movement was erratic and hard to pin point, so I only sat here for a short [...]

9:00am.     I was up bright and early this morning, and had a cycle to the paper shop at 6 o’clock to collect some of the morning’s newspapers – and was back here in my study at 7 o’clock with some coffee and toast. I also had my screens turned on so as I [...]

8:00am.    I have been over in Dublin with a group of male friends since Friday night, we’re staying here at The Clarence Hotel (owned by Bono and U2) but it is now time to head back home. Earlier on this morning I fired my laptop up and had a quick trade with one of [...]

10:30am.    As most of you will be aware – today is the first Friday of the month so it means Non-Farm-Payrolls announcement at lunchtime. I do not usually trade on a Friday anyway, but this is added incentive to stay out of the markets. I am catching up on emails this morning, and after [...]
