07:00am   Another early start and day up in Norfolk for me so yet again no trading today. A busy day on the markets yesterday as U.S. GDP figures came in at a disappointing 0.2% and core inflation dropped down to 0.9% from the previous month’s 1.1% giving the Fed solid reasons to delay the [...]

07:05am   A very early start for today as I am joining some friends on a track day in Norfolk later this morning – this means no trading today for me — some emailing and Skype calls before that though. U.S. markets could not sustain Monday’s levels and dropped back during yesterday’s trading session on disappointing [...]

08:15am   A relaxed start and nice quiet day at home for me today, catching up on emails and doing some chart watching.  Bike ride at some stage as well obviously Although the Dow Jones 30 did not quite manage it, the wider S&P 500 index did manage another all -time high during intraday trading [...]

07:15am    At home here with Max all day doing some final work on the new ‘Long-Term-Trading’ manual so not sure whether I’ll be doing any chart watching as well – keep an eye on this diary for any updates. On the whole last week was a good one for most world markets with record [...]

07:55am   Here at home this morning catching up on emails and doing some chart watching then travelling this afternoon to Southwold for a week or so. The U.S. S&P 500 index hit its all time high intraday yesterday in the last few hours of the session before retreating back slightly, this level has not [...]

08:10am UK time   A lazy day at home today after an extremely busy day and late night in London. I’ll report any trades I have as the day progresses. European markets experienced a largely negative trading session yesterday on continued worries about the Greek situation which now involves sequestration of public funds by the [...]

07:25am UK time   No trading again for me today as I am spending all day in London visiting some old friends at various spread betting companies. On the markets yesterday the main U.S. indices had a largely negative day hitting their short term resistance levels and forming reversal candle patterns, so we may see [...]

07:20am CET (06:20 UK time)   An early start for me today as I have a few things to sort out here before I fly back to Stansted this afternoon. No trading for me today or tomorrow as I have a busy Wednesday in London visiting some friends at various spread betting companies. Europe is [...]

08:00am CET (7:00am UK Time)    At home for most of today ahead of a trip back to the UK tomorrow – if I have any trades during the day I’ll report back here. Here in Europe the main news yet again is the spectre of a Greek exit from the EU and its common [...]

09:05am CET (08:05 UK Time)   A nice lazy start and a day at home in the sun for me today so I may have some trades to report as the day progresses. The U.S. markets had a reasonably optimistic session yesterday on the back of positive earning results, weaker Dollar and cheap oil prices [...]
