Welcome to Traders Diary. I’m Colin and I’m a financial markets trader based in the UK.

This site presents my thoughts and ideas about trading as well as details of my trades as they happen. I’ll explain why I take a trade and how I monitor each trade in addition to my key trading ideas and thoughts.

I always welcome constructive questions and comments but anything that I consider defamatory or just plain rude will be deleted!

If you find my thoughts and ideas interesting then you can follow me over a complete year of trading by reading my book “Traders Diary” (see the book link on the right) This does what it says on the tin.

It shows you one of my trading strategies and its implementation across a full year. Each trade is described with screenshots and you will also see how I measure my trading success and how you can too.
