Trading Diary ~ Tuesday 9th July 2013
08:20am ~ As it is such a sunny morning, myself and two friends have decided we’re taking our motorbikes down to Whitstable in Kent to buy some fresh scallops and oysters at the harbour for a barbeque here tonight.
The U.S. S&P500 index is still on the way up at the moment, so we may see new market highs later today, close to where we were in the middle of June.
18:15pm ~ Back home now and I’ve got a few friends round for a barbeque this evening but I am also going to watch my S&P500 chart on and off over the next few hours to see if there are any quick opportunities for an “evening” trade. I shall report back later if there’s any news.
19:20pm ~ I did end up having a quick ‘long’ position on the S&P500 – and I’ve just come out of the market with +20 pips. My chart now shows we’re now at the same level as the highs of the market in June so it may stall there for this session.
So now back to the cooking outside…..
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+20 pips) I traded for an hour this evening although not watching the chart all the time.
