09:40am  ~  I got back from Majorca earlier this morning, and I’m going to have a day here at home catching up on emails etc.  I did manage to have a “Trade With A Day Job” evening trade last night – it kicked off just after 7pm local time (6pm UK time) and I managed [...]

10:30am (CET)  ~  Two reasons for not trading today, firstly it’s the first Friday of the month so it is Non Farm Payrolls Day in the U.S. so traditionally I never bother with the markets due to the way they behave today and secondly I’m in Majorca for a few days sorting some stuff out [...]

08:10am  ~  I have a few errands to complete this morning before flying off to Majorca this evening, but I will be around for a few hours to do some emails and chart watching. I also have a cycle ride to fit in as well and a builders meeting at lunchtime. There is a big [...]

08:05am  ~  I am at home this morning here in the study so I shall be watching some charts for a few hours ahead of a tennis match early this afternoon. Overnight the S&P500 index has almost reached its all-time high of early March and the Dow Jones rallied 77 points to 16,533 a new [...]

My beginner’s (evening) trading system has yet again come in with a profit for the last month – as you’ll be able to read in this diary I have not traded it every evening of March, but I have still managed +215 pips

09:05am  ~  I am back home this morning after a few days in Spain sorting out some stuff – so it’s emails and some chart watching this morning and some clay-pigeon shooting this afternoon at the farm up the road.  I will report back later if I have any trades. Looking at the charts a [...]

08:25am  ~  After a successful trading day yesterday, I shall only be in front of my charts for a limited time today as I have two building projects starting next week so there’s a fair amount of sorting out to do today. Technically the Dow Jones index seems to have formed a support level around [...]

07:20am  ~  As you may have seen I did get back to some trading last night, and this morning I shall also be in front of my charts for a while after a cycle ride over to Walberswick.  I will report back later if there’s any trades on offer. European equities are set to open [...]

10:25am  ~  Feeling better today after almost a week of this strange virus – going to do some emails today and watch some charts later on as well hopefully. Looking at the charts, I can see the S&P500 has resumed its upward journey – assisted no doubt by encouraging consumer confidence data in the US yesterday [...]

22:50pm  ~  Just a very quick update, I was struck down to by a strange ‘virus’ late on Thursday night so I’ve not had a chance to sit down in front of any computers since then. Hopefully I’ll be back trading on Monday, but I will update you as soon as I am able.
