08:10am  ~  More site meetings plus a few sessions here in the study doing emails and some chart watching is what’s in store for me today but an invite from a trader friend in Gran Canaria makes me think that I should escape the UK’s winter weather for a week – I shall be booking [...]

09:55am  ~  This morning’s market update is slightly later than usual as I had a site meeting with builders at 7am at an old cottage I’ve just bought on the Essex coast, but I’m back in my study now doing emails and some chart watching as well. The Dow Jones 30 had a down day [...]

09:05am  ~  I have a pile of emails to catch-up on today after being away, so I shall also watch a few charts as well while here in the study, although with the FOMC statement later this evening there might be limited movement in the main indices in the run up. The weather here does [...]

18:25pm  ~  No market update earlier today as I have only just returned home after a few days away. I will switch on my MT4 charts in a short while though to see what’s happening in the markets since I’ve been abroad, although for simplicity I’m just going to watch for “Trade With A Day [...]

09:20am  ~  After a very late night at a card evening, I am having a slow start this morning.  I have still have some emails to catch up on plus 4 Skype calls this morning so I shall probably be here in the study until lunchtime. The markets had a mixed day yesterday, the Dow [...]

08:25am  ~  The main news for traders in the UK this morning is the unemployment rate which is inextricably linked by Mark Carney to the Bank Of England interest rate so traders in London will be standing in the wings for another 45 minutes to see what the numbers reveal. We also have a raft [...]

08:10am  ~  I got back here to Suffolk late last night, so it’s back to normal today – a few errands and a pile of emails regarding the new system plus a few Skype calls together with some trading at some stage. I will also fit in a cycle ride at some stage, not sure [...]

The new updated “Trade With A Day Job” beginner’s trading system is now available for download.  For 2014 it is in two parts, the main strategy which is basically unchanged for the past 14 years although it’s greatly simplified now. Although I do love getting students questions coming in by email, my goal in rewriting [...]
