09:45am  (8:45 UK time) ~  I’ve just finished a 30 minute session in the study doing some emails and Skype calls, and I’m now off on a cycle ride down into Calpe. I will be back in an hour and then I’m going to sit down and watch my charts for a few hours before meeting some friends for lunch in Guadalest.

11:40am  ~   Just entered a ‘short’ trade on my Brent Oil chart using one of my favourite strategies from the trendFX manual – and so far it’s going ok.  I will report back later with news of the outcome.

18:15pm  ~ I have had quite a relaxing afternoon here at home, and 30 minutes ago I switched this laptop on to watch for set-ups on my “Trade With A Day Job” system. There is a certain occurrence that sometimes happens at 5pm UK time and this evening it was right on time, so I am currently in a ‘short’ trade on the S&P500 which is at break-even at the present time.  I will report back later with news of my position. My earlier trade on Brent Oil came out at +40 pips, the trade ended up lasting less than 30 minutes.

20:50pm  ~  I’ve just come out of my two trades for the evening. I also got into a second short trade on the S&P500 as there was a very good signal just before 7:30 as well. My scores were +32 and +30 pips respectively, meaning my total for the day came out at +102 pips.

Daily Target Reached ?  YES  (+102 pips)      I traded for an hour this morning plus 3 hours this evening
