As it is generally quite cold out in the mornings now, I spare myself the horror of an early morning cycle ride, and have a bit of a lie-in instead. I was up at 8am and after a quick shower and breakfast, I was in my garage at 8:45am (where I have set-up 2 computers) [...]

As mentioned on Friday – there is NO trading today as it is ‘Martin Luther King Day‘ today so there is a Bank Holiday in the U.S. and Wall St. is closed for business. I have spent the morning answering emails and some development work on an old system manual, and also a new one. [...]

As usual, no trading for me today as Fridays are the start of my weekend…… My eldest son (Max) who is the I.T. expert behind marketsmastered.com is going back to University today, so we left at 10 o’clock and made our way over to Reading in Berkshire with the car loaded up.  Due to the [...]

I spent yesterday evening with some friends in Le Touquet (Northern France), and this morning I had a lift from the airport ( a mile outside the town) in a friend’s Piper P28 to a small airfield near Cambridge that we use. This was not a ‘chance’ meeting, I had phoned him last night to [...]

Another morning at the Nurburgring track, and after lunch we said our goodbyes and made plans to head back to the UK. I am leaving my car with the guys at Manthey Motors for some upgrades, and rather go back in one of the other cars, I am going back by ‘public’ transport as the [...]

Nice early start to the day, we were all down for breakfast at 6am, and were then at the circuit by 7:30 to meet the guys from Manthey, and get our driving slots confirmed. We all had plenty of time driving (and swapping of each others cars) and apart from a 90 minute lunch break, [...]

Good morning and welcome to a new week. Together with 4 friends (non-traders) we have organised a few days away in Germany, taking our respective cars to the famous racing circuit ‘Nurburgring’ or ‘Nordschleife’ as it’s more commonly known. I am a customer of Manthey Motors, so we have some exclusive time on the racing [...]

As usual for me, there is no sitting and watching the charts today as 1) I do not normally ‘work’ on a Friday and 2) even if I did, today is ‘Non-Farm-Payroll day, so the markets tend to wander around aimlessly in the morning (in the UK) and at 1:30pm shoot off in whatever direction [...]

I am not that bothered about trading a lot this week, as the markets have not got back to normal yet after the Christmas break, and we also have ‘Non-Farm-Payroll’ Day tomorrow. I believe by next Tuesday things should be ‘as usual’ in the markets. Today was spent answering emails and also working with Max [...]

I was up fairly early, and wandered into my study at 6:30am to check on emails that have come in overnight. I spent an hour or so answering them and then went out for a 15 mile cycle ride on the new bike. I had a shower and a bit of breakfast when I returned, [...]
