8:30am  ~  I’m going to be here in my study for a couple of hours doing emails and Skype calls – so I will also watch some charts to see if we can grab a few pips out of the market while I’m here.  The usual markets I watch are not really doing much this morning but I will report back later with news of any trades I find.

11:05am  ~  I have had just one trade so far this morning, it was a ‘long’ trade on my Brent Oil chart. I got into the trade a few moments after 9 o’clock and I managed a 47 pip profit.  I’ve a few more emails to reply to plus 4 Skype calls and then I am off to George’s farm up the road to have some lunch and an afternoon of Clay Pigeon shooting.  He is also a full-time trader, although he tends to only trade one or two days a week.

20:15pm  ~  I got back here just before 5pm so I was in time to switch on my chart to watch for any trade set-ups with my “evening” system.  In the end I had two trades, the first one just after 5 o’clock was stopped out at minus 19 pips, and the second one (which I’ve just come out of) also gave me a small loss of minus 11 pips.  I am now due out for dinner at the Blue Lighthouse with friends so no more time any further trades.

Daily Target Reached ?  NO  (+17 pips)        I traded for 2.5 hours this morning plus 3 hours this evening
