24th June 14 – Day 12 I log in this morning and the market is more or less where it was last night, I leave the screen open and start my day. Something catches my eye and it looks like we’re on the move… in the wrong direction, the market is rising and we’re only […]

23rd June 14 – Day 11 Monday morning and I log in, down £57… argh! But then within half an hour or so it’s up, and up and up and all the way to £150 up. I think about the stop loss, I know I should move it, so I do. I move it to […]
