Well, after the previous week’s profit of £119, I was on a bit of a high and hoping to build upon that amount by publishing another good green figure. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be as you can see from the results below:

A £200 loss is a kick in the old town halls, but I’m going to pick myself up and keep going. With this loss I’m now £600 down for the season. Disappointing, but I’m looking at this as a good challenge for myself. Weirdly, it’s something I’m quite relishing the prospect of. The £600 loss so far is outlined below:

When I’ve looked at my losses, I’ve been a little hard on myself and thought that I could have done better. But the thing is, I’ve just got to let the trades ride. This is variance, and unfortunately there’s been more losers than winners recently. There will come a time when I’ll have a good run of winners which will put the current losses I’m experiencing into perspective. I’ve just got to stick with it and trade what’s in front of me. Although I will say that I’ve been leaving out the manual trades of late, and just really looking at fire-and-forget trades. I possibly need to bring my manual trades back to lessen the losses being experienced, as I was quite good doing manual trading. But what I’m finding is that the manual trades that I want to trade are already included in my fire-and-forget trades and I don’t really want to double up just in case both are losing trades and make my position worse. But, I’ve just got to trust my selections and start my manual trades back up again. Drastic times require drastic measures.

And with that, I’m going to love you and leave you and look forward to the weekend of trading ahead. Hopefully I’ll post something on Friday night/Saturday morning, with a few ideas of what I’ll be looking to trade. Good luck if you’re trading yourself, and may the Lord be with you. Always.
