08:05am  ~  Today I shall be away from the markets as myself and three trader friends are driving down to Whitstable in Kent this morning for an Oyster lunch. The market close figures below show a sea of red once again and this is due mainly to profit taking after the main U.S. indices had [...]

07:20am  ~   An early start at home today for me as I clear up after a long building project – so I will report back later if I have any trades. As I’ve mentioned before, I do not sit watching my charts minute by minute, but just glance at them every 30 minutes or so [...]

07:45pm  ~  Builders are finishing here to day so I shall spend most of the day helping them but I do have two Skype calls early this morning plus a cycle ride with some friends at 9am. With no meaningful economic or political news out over the weekend, the markets this morning will be influenced [...]

07:55am  ~  A raft of Skype calls with new traders will keep me indoors this morning but I’ll be out in the fresh air this afternoon with some clay pigeon shooting up the road.  Off for a cycle ride in a minute as well. The main news for the markets today is the outcome of [...]

11:55am  ~  Bit late for today’s ‘Market Update’, I have only just got back from the trip to Belgium.  Time now for a shower and some lunch and then into the study this afternoon for some emailing and chart watching while I also get on with finishing off my Trading Psychology book, the current project. [...]

07:50am  ~  Fairly quite day for me today here at home, a few Skype calls this morning while I do some emailing and chart watching.  An extended cycle ride will be fitted in at some stage as I did not go out at all on Sunday/Monday. Later on this evening I am off to Bruges [...]

07:45am  ~ I am starting the week off with a tennis match at 9am but will be back around lunch time to do some emails, Skype calls and occasional chart watching. The market’s main direction for the first few hours today are no doubt going to be influenced by Chinese industrial production and retail sales numbers [...]

08:15am  ~  Some time here in the study this morning doing emails and watching my charts every half an hour or so and then I am off to a clay pigeon shoot up the road at midday. On the markets – the Japanese Nikkei had its fifth straight day of rises overnight and now stands [...]

07:45am ~  Another day away from the markets as I am away late morning to a friend’s funeral. Before that I will be here in the study doing emails plus 3 Skype calls and a brief look at a few favourite charts. Equity markets were generally positive yesterday at last night’s close with U.S. indices [...]

07:05am  ~  An early start today as myself and a few friends are taking some of our cars upto Norfolk for a trackday  - back late afternoon/early evening. As you can see from the market close figures below, there is a sea of red numbers as all the major indices ended down yesterday and the [...]
