Summary Week Ended Friday 20th September 2013 9 stock trades: 3 BARC + 309.9 BPS 5 BLT + 37.52 BPS 1 RDSA + 3.88 BPS Stocks net + 351.3 BPS No losing trades this week. Long and short trades, intraday and overnight. No Index trades. I traded 3 days this week. Thoughts Another shortened week, the technicians (yes two of them....) from Orange were back to fix my broadband connection on Monday, and it seems to be OK now (connected continuously for over 50 hours). Tomorrow is Friday (and expiry) and I am going away for the weekend very early, so posting this on Thursday. A better week, the markets went a bit crazy after the US Federal Reserve announced that there would be no tapering at the moment, due to the state of the US economy. Another week on the positive side. I need more like that. Now I'm focussing 100% on stocks, I feel more relaxed about my trading. I am also being MUCH more selective in my trading, often sitting for hours without entering the market if nothing hits the levels I am looking for. I have also decided not to enter the market during certain periods of the day, after analysis of my trading records showed that these periods had a negative effect on my P&L.

Friday was pretty volatile on the miners. BARC chart showing support kicking in at exactly 265... Stay disciplined. Stay focussed.
Had a pretty horrbile month of October, and have not posted an update for a while. I'm still trading, still solvent, although my account took a hit. Will post an update soon.
