No trading for me this week as I’m busy preparing for our Trading day on Thursday and going away on holiday on Saturday.  So I’m sure I’ve missed some cracking opportunities for pips but they’ll be there again.  Anyway whilst perusing certain blogs and websites I came across this piece posted on TraderToms website.  From Dennis […]
