Well back to trading after my absence and a flat week, which is dissapointing considering I now have a bit more time to devote to it. Still working on the PhD a bit but I cna spend most time between 9 and 3 now in front of the screen, unfortunately not the best of trading times

7 trades made.

+7, +5, -4, -2, -3, -5 and +2.

Although the bottom line is flat I'm really pleased with one aspect of my trading that I knew needed work. Namely the ability to hold onto trades for longer without getting too anxious.

My average trade duration now is 11.8 mins. With my longest trades both being over 25 mins duration. Average win was 4.6, average loss 3.5.

Main problem this week was three trades that for some reason I took outside my system. I suspect boredom was a cause. It has been a poor week for the system, with only 9 trades being triggered and most of them for very low point values. Resolution next week - take only system trades and find a way of alleviating the boredom, guitar practice I think

Well I finally gave a revised PhD in on Tuesday which has given me more time in the week to trade at last. I get feedback on the PhD on the 17th July so a nice rest for me pre school hols.

Not much trading this week.

3 futures trades. +1, -2 and -6.

Trying Welles Wilders Reaction Trend System out and have closed three trades this week, two open over the weekend.

+12.75, +37 and -11.
