Hey fgbl - got back from hols and have picked up the lurgy and struggling to focus on typing this. Supposed to have moved office also, been a bit of a mess....put back til later this week. Internet connection in Dec went down (i was in a trade) one afternoon (happens quite a bit) and the office manager didnt bother calling the provider til the next morning. I assumed it was sorted prev day and arrived (as did many others) the next morning and it was still down.....no notification before commuting in....so everyone just turned back around to home. I had to print out docs for a meeting in an internet cafe - yep they still exist, thankfully. Fuming! All a bit of a saga. Anyway...

..done much? Low volumes apparently....notice much diff in the price action? Messy?

Have got rid of lurgy, moved into offices but still dont have monitors set up. Am up in london on other business this week but will try and post some trading related stuff as and when.

Hope everyone is trading well.

I may be back trading again next week, but it will probably be short term as have a busy Feb.

I have had a good fun few weeks working on other projects, have set up 2 businesses for clients, meetings at top global law firms, fine dining with clients in London and invites to a gaming convention in Feb in London with a client whos based in the caribbean. I wish it was as high end as it sounds but am currently doing most of this work on very low pay....but with equity share and share of funds raised. Lets hope these start ups do well! Its been odd not having to question every step i take each day.

I havent paid any attention to the markets but will start looking this week. Will possibly post some thoughts up also. I hope PA has been better than late Dec.

Take care and good luck trading.

I have some time to focus on trading again, and despite enjoying my other business interests theres something about trading which i have missed enormously, but cant quite put my finger on what specifically it is.....perhaps the personal test/learning curve? Not sure.

am back - just gone long ES @ 39 & SL @ 34 - this is a medium term position, entry based on 4h/daily charts.

If price makes a LL will look to reenter @ 16 ish area.
