10:45am  (EST)  ~  No market update today as I’m still away on a long-weekend break, but we’re going down to the house at Altea later this afternoon, so I will report back if I manage to do any trading this evening. 18:00pm (EST)  ~  We’ve just got in and for some relaxation I am going [...]

07:45am  ~  I am up early this morning as I’ve admin work to do and three Skype calls before lunch and then we’re off for a weekend away in Barcelona later this afternoon. I have already been for a quick 10 mile cycle ride so I’m now at my desk with a few favourite charts [...]

I receive emails every week from budding traders asking this question. So what can you expect once you’ve downloaded my “Trade With A Day Job” beginner’s trading system ? Are you actually going to learn to trade ?  Is it really that easy ? Well, within minutes you’ll have downloaded your 73-page trading system manual [...]

09:15am  ~  More meetings with builders and planning officials this morning, but I’ll hopefully get some time in front of the charts as well later today. Yesterday the markets here and in the U.S. were still on the gentle decline that started last week, and problems with the debt ceiling in America will keep and [...]

07:40am  ~  I’m up relatively early this morning as I have a meeting with architects and builders later, so I want to get some ‘office’ admin work done before I go down the road to meet with them. I’ll watch a few charts as well while I’m here in the study – and also have [...]

09:10am  ~  Quick shopping trip to Bluewater in Kent this morning, then back home via a trader friend’s house (Steve) in Sevenoaks. The markets on Friday were dominated by news in the U.S. that the gradual curtailing of the stimulus programme by the Federal reserve will start soon after all. It was suggested a week [...]

11:05am  ~  This week it would seem that a lot of my students have nominated their Gold trade from yesterday, a position I took as well, so here is my chart screenshot. With the high value of Gold over the past month, the profit-takers have moved in, and my trendFX “beginner’s trading strategy provided a [...]

11:15am  ~  After getting in at 4am this morning after a family medical emergency, I decided that I was going to have a bit of a lie-in today. I’ve just got down here to the kitchen and switched on this laptop, and I’m going to watch a few charts before the U.S. open and get [...]

08:35am  ~  I was going to have a day in the study doing some trading plus emails and Skype calls, but there’s been a family medical emergency so I am off now to sort things out, I will report later. No time to do an market update either today – sorry ! 15:25pm  ~  Back [...]
