As always, there's room to improve the trading. Theres winners and losers. Just have to stay ahead of the game. Took a little over 220 pips yesterday on a well-behaved cable trade. Planted my stop a little too close and so I've missed the rest of this ride down. But profit is profit.

Had a good Christmas. We've seen more snow this year than since I was a teenager AGES ago. Weird, but fun.

I hope you're able to resolve your family issues. They can really throw things off kilter.

What do you mean, you're usually done by Monday? You trade Sunday and you're done on Monday? Don't mean to pry, but those are pretty narrow hours.

Pretty narrow requirements these days! 200 pips and I am done for the week and more than happy!

So could we call that "semi-retirement" or are you just taking entries that meet a narrow criteria?

Good for you. I have always found it ironic that for may of us freedom is one of the main things that attract us to trading, we then end up slaves to the screen.

The former, although not quite semi-retirment, just minimum exposure!
