07:50am  ~  I have a couple of hours here in the study this morning doing emails and 4 Skype calls then a group of us are going off on our motorbikes to a fish lunch at the harbour in Whitstable Kent, the oysters and scallops are well worth the 290 mile round trip. Let’s hope [...]

08:25am  ~  I have already been out for a bracing walk along the beach upto the pier and I’m now going to have a few hours here in the study doing emails and Skype calls plus a bit of chart watching of course ! There was mixed economic figures in the U.S. yesterday resulting in [...]

08:55am  ~  A nice lazy start to the week for me, I am off for a cycle ride in a minute with some friends, and then shall settle down to some admin in the study in the run-up to lunchtime.  Later this afternoon we will be heading upto the cottage in Suffolk for the week. [...]

08:20am  ~  After a successful trading day yesterday, I shall be watching my charts yet again today as I continue to go through my inbox that’s built up since I’ve been away, I will relay any trading news & info here as soon as it occurs. Looking at yesterday’s markets you can see that although [...]

09:55am  ~  Back from my holidays late yesterday afternoon and today I shall start getting back into some sort of ‘work-mode’ although I’m not sure how successful that’s going to be !  I was supposed to be back on Monday but we had the chance of a stopover on the way back, so it was [...]

07:05am  ~  No trading for me today, I have a few errands to do this morning plus meetings with builders this afternoon ahead of a 10-day holiday away in the Indian Ocean (with no internet or phone signal !) European markets are set-up to open lower today after a sell-off in U.S. equities yesterday – [...]

08:05am  ~  A fairly relaxed day for me ahead, a game of tennis this afternoon, a cycle ride at some stage and some chart watching inbetween times. I shall also be catching up on all my emails before a holiday away next week. Technology shares led the rally in the US equity market in early [...]

08:15am  ~  An early start for me today – I have already been up the road to check on a building project and will be off on a cycle ride soon followed by meetings with architects/planners/builders before lunch. I shall be here at home this afternoon though, so may get time to do some chart [...]

09:40am  ~  I got back from Majorca earlier this morning, and I’m going to have a day here at home catching up on emails etc.  I did manage to have a “Trade With A Day Job” evening trade last night – it kicked off just after 7pm local time (6pm UK time) and I managed [...]

10:30am (CET)  ~  Two reasons for not trading today, firstly it’s the first Friday of the month so it is Non Farm Payrolls Day in the U.S. so traditionally I never bother with the markets due to the way they behave today and secondly I’m in Majorca for a few days sorting some stuff out [...]
