Hi Mate
I've been putting a fair bit of time into spreads so I haven't been focused on the Aussie outrights much at all hence the lack of updates. I was just keeping this journal more about that....

Well it was RBA rate decision time and it turned out to be a tricky day.

Back into it after a couple of weeks off. In that time I re-jigged my trading a little in terms of my focus and my structure (if you could call it that).
I also moved house and now have an amazing...

Good to hear from you mate.
I don't know much about the Indian indices, but I'd imagine it would be an interesting one to be involved in going forward.

Very little to report today.
It was a quiet day of trading and a bit of a churn fest in reality.

Yep I'm with you. That's a great way of doing it.
Interesting with the DAX and FTSE.
I can tell you like the volatile markets given the ones you follow and trade.
Good luck with the trading.

I used to watch the H-shares, but I guess it's like anything when it comes to correlations, the leader might change day to day. So maybe one day it was HHI then the next HSI.

No I'm not trading the SPI for the next week. It's just too tough to put all those hours in.
