Being Careful

Not too much to report this evening. Traded the Sunderland v Norwich match. I expected Sunderland to win but was surprised just how lacklustre Norwich were. There hearts didn't seem to be in it at all.

Anyway, I have taken my own advice tonight (see yesterday's post) and taken it extremely steady. No impulsive entries into the market, no opening a position without seeing an exit route. All calm and measured.

This really is how it should be all along - and when it is like this, it's often difficult to understand why it should be anything else. However, sometimes it's all too easy to get swept away by the action within a match, and it's possible for the trading activity to start to mimic the erratic and dramatic nature of a game. This of course is not the sensible way to trade.

So, as I say, a decent start to the new month. I realise it's an arbritrary measurement, but it's still nice to start the first day of the month with a win.
