08:25am  ~  After a successful trading day yesterday, I shall only be in front of my charts for a limited time today as I have two building projects starting next week so there’s a fair amount of sorting out to do today. Technically the Dow Jones index seems to have formed a support level around [...]

07:20am  ~  As you may have seen I did get back to some trading last night, and this morning I shall also be in front of my charts for a while after a cycle ride over to Walberswick.  I will report back later if there’s any trades on offer. European equities are set to open [...]

10:25am  ~  Feeling better today after almost a week of this strange virus – going to do some emails today and watch some charts later on as well hopefully.

22:50pm  ~  Just a very quick update, I was struck down to by a strange ‘virus’ late on Thursday night so I’ve not had a chance to sit down in front of any computers since then. Hopefully I’ll be back trading on Monday, but I will update you as soon as I am able.

09:00am  ~  It’s a subdued start for me after a very late evening – there’s not going to be much trading for me today as we are off to a few museums later this morning. Traders yesterday took developments in Ukraine where a referendum paved the way for Russia to annex Crimea as a sign [...]

07:45am  ~  I am in the study early this morning as I want to get some admin/emails/Skype calls done before 11am as we’re off to London for a few days. The European/U.S. markets are going to be on tenterhooks as they open for a new week following the Ukrainian vote yesterday. As everyone thought, there was [...]
