Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, whilst I have had a successful day today it’s fair to say I am somewhat grumpy and annoyed with myself.  I have made a litany of mistakes today and was lucky to get away with them.   Whilst I felt somewhat tired this morning at my 0530 start it wasn’t any worse […]

Much like FXTrader Alans last post January was a period of upheaval for myself as I moved locations from central London to the rural idyll of a small village in Oxfordshire.  As I mentioned in my post on Psychological Stop Losses I placed myself under a stop trading order whilst I resolved my move and settled into […]

After a couple of busy weeks moving house I am now set-up in my new country home and ready to ease myself back into trading. So  here’s another brief installment in my What type of Trader are you? Are you: a.  A Screen Watcher – someone who likes to sit in front of the screen […]
