Bicentennial Note

As part of Singapore's Bicentennial celebrations, the MAS released a new and very nice $20 note.

Manage to buy on off a colleague for cost price.

Can't really show the note but this is the cover.

It makes a really nice souvenir, and likely will appreciate in price in the future.

My Saxo P&L 2019 June

It's been a relatively dormant month.

After the trauma of the last few months continuously bleeding away, I'm glad I'm finally seeing the rub of some green, even if it is a small amount.

Hopefully the second half of the year will be kinder and more prosperous for me!

Towards better returns in 2019!

My Saxo P&L 2019 May

The worst month for me yet.

The losses came very early early in the month.

Then I placed an FX trading ban on myself until 1st June and it's stuck well since.

Hopefully can slowly but surely fight back.

Seeing all this red ink is very demoralizing.

I have seven more month's left to try and fight back.

Towards better returns in 2019!

Slow Burn

Have been on a slow burn in the last few months.

Every week, I'd lose between 1.5K to 2K, wallow for a week and 'ban' myself from trading FX, and then after a week's hiatus, I'd be at it again. It's been at least 4 repetitions of this and I've lost more than 6K in total now.

When will all this madness stop?

I really have far less self control than I imagined.

This is another 'ban' I've imposed on myself and I've gone a week 'clean'.

Hopefully I can properly ban myself from trading FX till at least 1st June.

Even More Wise Words

Somehow, this spoke to me about my poor FX trade record.

Another terrible month for me.

It should have been better, but again I screwed it up. Seem to be doing so time and time again.

I have eight more month's left to try and fight back.

Towards better returns in 2019!
