Thursday 9th October

Trading is the name of the game. I am desperate to get on my own screen. I have decided not to trade until I am on my own screen. Due to a bad start my account stands at GBP 3648.

I will use this blog to document my trades and get my account back up to 6k.
My stop loss limit will be +- 400 GBP and I will be trading FTSE and BUND.

Today: A lot less volatile than previous days which is not necessarily a good thing, however, I will try and get back to the fundamentals and put on a couple of winning trades when I am on my own screen.

01 July

Just watched goodnight sweetheart with nicholas lyndhurst and had stir fry. An old one but still very good.
Ginger, garlic, harissa paste, chicken stock, mushrooms, beansprouts, basil and the key ingredient- peanut butter. Also very good.

If you are wondering what im up to, well I am in a flat in chelmsford having just moved here to take part in a futures trading course. Just finished the first day.
Made a make believe trade shorting the ftse which ended up making £700. If only it was really that easy.

There are two others on the course. A musician and another guy who looks remarkably like gareth gates. They seem a little naive imho when it comes to trading but yet nice enough. I will be hoping to outperform both of them in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.

Gonna read a bit of a trading book in a sec and then after that catch some sleep.
Good night.
