6:35am ~  Well, I am back from Australia and I am up in Cumbria doing some walking/climbing for a week. We arrived up here in Cockermouth at the beginning of the week but today is the first time I’ve been able to pick-up any internet on my iPad – so I thought I’d do a [...]

8:10pm ~ I am 4 days into my summer-holiday out here in Australia and this is the first day that I have been able to access any internet – the guy I am renting this house from is not that technically-minded, so it’s taken quite a while to get the problem sorted. I am in [...]

  10:15am ~ No trading for me today, we’re catching the train up to London just before lunchtime to do some shopping before the trip out to Australia this coming Sunday. Staying the night at our favourite hotel, Montague On The Gardens in Bloomsbury.

9:05am ~  Just come down to the kitchen, I am finding that I’m having about ten hours sleep a night at the moment, but I am sure it will get better as I fully recover.

9:00pm ~ Another restful day for me, all I’ve done is some email replies this afternoon but I did switch on my charting platform late this afternoon just to have a look at what was happening after the U.S. Non Farm Payrolls announcement was released at lunchtime (UK time) The market did shoot up fairly [...]

6:00pm ~ I’ve had a nice relaxing day up here, the weather has been surprisingly ok today. Didn’t really intend to do any trading today, but I had a email question from a new customer which prompted me to have a look at an S&P500 chart just after 5pm, and I noticed a “Trade With [...]

Hello to everyone – this is just a very short blog update, I am now out of hospital and embarking on a period of convalescent recovery at home although for the next few days I’m up here at the cottage (in Suffolk) Traditionally August can be a time of thin volume on the markets, so I’m [...]
