Mostly gaming and trading

I haven’t written much lately, mainly because not much is going on, in any area. Since returning from vacation I’ve been in a bit of a holiday mood. My Google Reader had 800 unread posts yesterday which I’m only starting to catch up on. I still trade daily of course, but haven’t been doing much […]

Best day $ (take 2)

Broke the personal record set earlier this week and put in another best day $ wise and I think in terms of R too.
I started Friday with the specific intention of not doing anything, particularly not on the PC. I picked up a Robert Lodllum book I never got to finish and planted myself in […]

It’s on weeks like these that I wish I would have pressed harder, took more trades, increased R size etc. but it’s of course very difficult […]

Traders Skills and my Strengths and Weaknesses

As some readers may or may not know I come from an IT background. I’ve been around computers, software and IT people more than 2/3 of my life. Largely I owe my thanks for this to my parents who bought me a Spectrum Sinclair 48K when I was maybe 10 and since then I was […]
