YES, I am still alive. And NO, I have not lost the remainder of
the Nicoll life savings.
I have been quietly reading a few
trading books, following the Dow's progress through the doldrums,
and making the odd winning trade along with a few losers.
And feeling proud that I no longer
lose more than £30 or so on the losers, thanks to my new
understanding of stop losses, and actually using them, instead of
staring transfixed at the screen when a trade's going the wrong
way.
Now I am off to the Land of the Deep
Fried Mars Bar on business, where I'll remain for the next couple
of weeks.
So no more trades until then.
(Naturally the Dow plunged 135 after I'd been stopped out
on my final short trade!)
I'll be back some time in October.
Until then be lucky! (And remember the
stop loss.)
