9:00am ~    Considering the long (and late) day I had yesterday, I was up remarkably early this morning. I was down and in my study here at the cottage at 6:30 this morning, and while tucking into coffee and toast, I watched a few charts on my MT4 trading platform using my trendFX strategies. I had a nice signal on my S&P500 chart at 7:15am and a few moments later I was in a ‘short’ trade. The price came down quite nicely and just over an hour later I came out with +33 pips. That will do me for the day as far as trading income is concerned…. A though has just come into my head after readingback this last paragraph — I have had three questions in the past few days from readers of this blog asking if you need to trade my systems on a MT4 trading platform. I can inform you that you can use ANY trading platform you prefer – they are very simple strategies to use so can use very simple charts.

I had some emails to answer, and two Skype sessions to attend to, and later on this morning four of us are off to Xscape in Milton Keynes, a large indoor snow skiing centre – I need some lessons before going off to Switzerland later this week.

There is news on the TV this morning of a Petrol refinery in Essex calling in the receivers which may put pressure on petrol prices once again. Experts (ha ha) say there  may be a shortage of petrol/diesel due to this refinery closure. Read about it HERE

Daily Target Reached Today ?  YES  (+33 pips)      I traded for 90 minutes this morning
