2:30pm ~   I arrived back here to the cottage an hour ago after a very enjoyable long weekend skiing in France at Courchevel. I have a lot of emails to catch-up with plus I want to do a bit of trading later on as well. I will report back later with any news from my trading platform.

News this morning centred on the London FTSE100 index tanking as the European Summit gets underway – and you can read more about this and other financial news concerning the RBS boss and his contentious bonus here

7:40pm ~  I have had a couple of trades since I sat down with a laptop here in the kitchen just after 5 o’clock this evening. My first one was with my trendFX collection of systems and that gave me +22 pips after around an hour in the market. I then had a signal with my “Evening” trading system and that gave me another 20 pips for 30 minutes trading. I am now off to the Lord Nelson to catch up with some friends.

Daily Target Reached Today ?  YES  (+42 pips)         I traded for a couple of hours this evening after arriving back in the UK at lunchtime.
