David Fuller's view I closed my ill-fated T-Bond (weekly & daily) short this afternoon. As a loss leader it was an expensive distraction and embarrassment as I had ignored the chart action for much too long. That is a dangerous game unless one's timing is perfect and mine certainly was not. This afternoon I bought back my December T-Bond shorts at 144.651 against my rollover sale at 136.925 on 29th August.

Following a significant trading misjudgement, I find it helps to see black humour in the event; accept that I have paid handsomely for my ongoing education in the university of life, and resolve to offset the loss with smarter trading.

I increased my silver (weekly & daily) long by a third this afternoon, paying $37.205 for another December position.
