09:05am  ~  I was just going to write that I got into a ‘long’ GOLD trade a few minutes ago and I will report back later with the result, but the price shot up so quickly that I’ve decided that a profit of over 100 pips will do me fine, so I’ve come out of the trade already.  I sat down here in the study about 30 minutes ago to do some emails and Skype calls, and so I also started watching a few charts on my MT4 platform.  Apart from this GOLD trade, nothing else is happening, so I’ll call it a day now trade-wise and get on with some admin work for a few hours. I’ll be off on a cycle ride when friends arrive around midday.

18:05pm  ~  I got back here from my cycle ride 20 minutes ago andnow I’ve had a shower I am going to sit down for a few hours with my charts open to see if there’s any trade opportunities with my “evening” system.  I will report back later with any details.

20:50pm  ~  I had just one trade earlier this evening, it was a ‘long’ position on the S&P500 and it came out with a small loss of minus 11 pips. There’s been nothing else so far so I am going to call it a day now and wander upto The Plough for a late supper.

Daily Target Reached ?  YES  (+94 pips)     I traded for about 30 minutes this morning plus nearly 3hrs this evening.
