08:05am CET (07:05 UK time)  ~  A nice lazy day here at home today apart from a cycle ride with my neighbour this morning, so I’ll report back later with any trades I find. U.S. markets took a dive as soon as they opened yesterday, mainly on continued crude price woes which in turn put [...]

08:10am CET (07:10 UK time)  ~  I have a few errands to do in Palma this morning so not sure how much chart watching I’ll be doing this morning but I will report back if I do spot any trades. The big news in the markets on Friday was the U.S. jobs numbers, there were [...]

07:10am  ~  An early start for me today, I have few hours here in the study catching up on emails and then we’re flying back to Majorca for the rest of the month just before lunchtime. No trading for me today as it’s Non Farm Payrolls day once again. Due to the U.S. employment numbers [...]

07:45am  ~  Going to be mainly at home today so will be watching my charts on and off through the day, I will report back with any trade details. Equity markets have largely staged a recovery during the last 24hrs after falls on Tuesday and FOMC Meeting minutes revealed last night that there’s a consensus [...]

08:55am  ~  Nice relaxed start to the day for me this morning after a very late night here with a few friends. There is another sea of red figures below showing that U.S. and European equities had another bearish session yesterday although trading overnight Asia has been quite optimistic with some bargain hunters keeping a [...]

07:30am ~ Happy New Year to all ! Back in the UK last night after a short Xmas holiday and ready for some trading today  –  I will report back here if I have any trade details. Lots to report from the first big day’s trading of 2015 – and the main news was that U.S. [...]

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)
