08:55am  ~  A nice lazy start for me this morning after a very late night at a neighbour’s house. I have a couple of hours here in the study doing some general admin and emails before we are off for a 5-day break at a friend’s cottage in Rock (Cornwall) – some fellow traders will [...]

06:50am  ~   An early start for me today as I have a builders meeting up the road at 7am – then I shall be here at home for the rest of the morning, with a tennis match this afternoon. After a few days of reversal candles on the daily charts both the Dow Jones [...]

07:30am  ~  Up early to do some emails and admin before we are off to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot later this morning. There is plenty of economic news out today to get the markets moving, kicking off with the Bank Of England’s Monetary Policy Committee’s last meeting vote and ending with the Fed’s FOMC [...]

11:05am  ~  I am a bit late reporting in this morning, I was up at 5am to go off for a Clay-Pigeon shoot at the farm up the road and I’ve just returned back home.  After 4 hours sleep last night it will be a very lazy day at home, so I will report back [...]

08:15am  ~  A delayed start for me this morning after a very late night out. I have meetings with builders in a minute and I should be back before lunch to do some emails. Traders focus this week will be on escalating troubles in Iraq and Ukraine with ISIS advancing and the threat that growing [...]

08:15am  ~  Back to Chelmsford at lunchtime as I have a meeting with builders this afternoon but this morning I shall be here in the kitchen with my laptop doing emails and some chart watching. I will report back later if I have any trades. After reaching an all time high early on in the [...]

07:20am  ~  Another session here in the study for me this morning, getting through more ‘Name-A-Trading-System’ competition entries plus some chart watching before some clay pigeon shooting in Walberswick around midday which will probably go on for the rest of the afternoon. As I hinted yesterday morning, U.S. equities had a sharp reversal with the [...]

07:25am  ~  I have a full day at home today, a whole heap of Skype calls + emailing and some chart watching of course.  I am still working my way through the hundreds of entries for my ‘name-a-trading-system’ competition as well. The markets seem to be at a crossroads at the moment, the Dow Jones [...]

07:35am  ~  I am back in the UK now, we arrived yesterday evening and today I will be catching up on emails and doing some chart watching as well. I’ll report back later with any trades I find. The U.S. indices are again at record levels after last night’s close although both the Dow Jones [...]

08:10am (CET)  ~  Not much trading for me today, I’ve some jobs around the house to do this morning then flying back to the UK after lunch. Expectations are high that the bullish slant to the equity markets are going to continue in a week of thin economic news.  Friday’s U.S. employment numbers came in [...]
