9:05am  ~  A nice lazy start to the week, I’ve just got down here to the kitchen and switched on this laptop to have a quick look at all the emails that have come in yesterday and overnight from Australia/Asia. Looks like I  am going to have a busy few days on Skype with people who want to chat to me before buying one of my systems.

I will not be in front of my charts this morning as I’ve got to get my oldest Porsche (1958) to a friend who’s going to rebuild a very noisy gearbox over the next month, and then I’ll be back at lunchtime for a nice cycle ride along the river bank (9 miles there, then same distance back) I’m then off to my cottage in Suffolk for a few days.

All those years ago when I was planning my full-time trading career, I made a promise to myself regarding my keep~fit regime. I ensure that  I cycle at least 3 or 4 times per week as trading involves sitting on a chair for large parts of the day, although in my home-office here, I have 2 desks and a settee so I am constantly moving around and not sitting in the same place for hours on end. You to must spend time working out a fitness timetable if you’re going to trade for more than a few hours a day.

Many of you may have read the Sunday Times story yesterday about the Peter Cruddas/Tory Fundraising story – you can catch the main parts of the story here

I will report back later as I intend to do some trading with my “Evening” system.

9:25pm  ~  A late end to my trading this evening – as I had two trades instead of the normal one. And I used my trendFX system as well, which a large majority of my customers are also doing, and seeing their earnings per evening double much of the time.

I got up here to Southwold just before 5 o’clock so I went straight into my study and turned on the main computer to watch for trade set-ups on my “Trade With A Day Job” evening system – and as is the norm nowadays – I also watch the S&P500 index with my trendFX chart set-ups. I recognised potential trades with both my systems around the same time and within minutes I was in the market with ‘long’ trades on both my “evening” system together with a “trendFX” one.

The “evening” trade finished first with a small profit of +57 pips and just now I closed off the “trendFX” trade for a profit of +101 pips. I’m off now to the Lord Nelson to have a couple of beers with some old friends.

Daily Target Reached Today ?  YES  (+158 pips)       I just traded the evening session today.
