11:05am (CET)  ~     Had quite a late night yesterday, so consequently I had a bit of a lie-in this morning, followed by a brisk cycle into Altea to get some  ’french’  bread for breakfast.  I have just sat down here in the study to watch my charts for a few hours while I reply to emails and have two Skype calls, and I can already see a potential trade setting up on my S&P500 chart. I will report back in a few hours with any news on the trading front.

16:25 (CET)   ~     I have just this minute come out of the S&P500 trade I mentioned earlier, plus I have had a ‘short’  GOLD  trade in the meantime as well which kicked off just after 2:15pm.  Both trades came out ok – the S&P one gave me +37 pips and the very quick GOLD trade managed +24 pips.   Both trades were with my “Any-Time” collection of strategies.   I am off now for a bit of exercise, a cycle ride down through Calpe and onto La Caleta, a round-trip of around 25kms.

21:30 (CET)  ~  I got back here at 7pm and immediately switched on this laptop to watch for trade set-ups on the S&P500 chart. I did end up having a trade, which kicked off at 7:30 and I have just come out of the market with +20 pips.  I have also been having a poker evening here with friends while trading so will carry on with that now.

Daily Target Reached ?  YES (+81 pips)       I traded for just over 5 hrs this afternoon plus a short time this evening
