As we come to the end of another year I am looking back at my favourite charts this morning to see what they’ve been up to.  I’ll not be back trading the markets until next week but it’s nice to look back to see where they’ve gone in the last 12 months. Probably my most [...]

Merry Christmas to all who have followed this trading diary of mine over the last year, I hope the holiday is a relaxing one for you.

07:30am  ~  Up early this morning as I have a a couple of Skype calls with new traders in Australia in the next hour.  There’s no more trading for me for the rest of the year – I am at an end-of-year clay pigeon shoot today but I shall be replying to emails for a [...]

09:40am  ~  No ‘Market Update’ today, I’ve been here in London since Saturday morning and will not be back home until late tonight – so no trading to report until tomorrow (maybe)

07:45am  ~ I don’t expect I’ll be doing much trading today – later this morning I’m off to a clay pigeon shoot and then shopping in Norwich later this afternoon. Equity markets had a good session yesterday and the momentum has carried on overnight in Asia with good gains in the Nikkei 225 and HangSeng. [...]

08:35am  ~ In and out of the house all day today with various errands so not sure if I’ll be doing any trading – but will report back here if I do. If you were trading my evening system last night you’ll be ware that the markets got a boost last night after Fed Chairman [...]

Following a large sell-off in U.S. equities last night mainly from technology stocks the markets will be closely watching the FOMC announcement today on U.S. interest rate policy with many traders fearing that an early rate rise [...]

08:10am  ~  I have a few hours here at home this morning replying to emails and then we’re off  Christmas shopping in London for the the rest of the day. There was a brief respite in the equity market sell-off yesterday when better than expected U.S. manufacturing data gave a boost to the Dow Jones [...]

08:55am  ~  Late start for me just because it’s Monday morning and I’ve nothing much planned for the day so far. I shall spend a few hours here in the study doing emails and a bit of chart watching with a cycle ride out at some stage before lunchtime. Bad news everywhere this morning – [...]

08:30am  ~  A bit of a lay in for me today after a late night out and I’m also not sure how much chart watching I will manage today as I have two cars to get down to Ipswich for servicing plus some clay-pigeon shooting if the rain calms down slightly. U.S. equities staged a [...]
