Update from Saturday 7 January
Mister Market is still in a good mood.  Mister Market is in a good mood since 28 December 2022.

The outcome of the © Market Mood Model - 'good mood' versus 'not so good mood' - is nothing more than a hint.

But, although it is only a hint , I use the outcome in my decision making process and risk management.

No new position in the past week.

In the past week I sold my EDN shares at 10.31 USD.  I had bought the shares end December 2022.  Very profitable trade.  Above average.  Ok , that is great but this is not always the case.

I made a short term trade in DINO.  This trade was a losing trade, but the loss was small. The loss was only 18 cent per share.

The next trade I made was in AMCX.  Not sold yet.

The last trade was a trade in TEVA.  A second attempt in TEVA this month.  Will it be a winner ?  We 'll see.

LND shares are still in my portofio.

Mr Market ended the week in a good mood.

The trades I made will be on this blog next weekend.

Market Mood Model ended the week in a not so good mood.
My TEVA trade ended in a small loss.  In hindsight this shouldn't have happened.
AMCX was a winning trade.  Now closed.
LND : I didn't sell although I should have sold.  But I consider LND as a longer term play.  And not as a short term trade. 


Update from Saturday 11 February
TEVA trade : small winner.
I still own LND shares.  Dropped a lot this week.  This happens when one mixes up short term trading with investing...

Update from Saturday 25 th of March
Mr Market was in a good mood this week , but ended in a not so good mood this past week. 
The market mood model helped me to keep a finger on the pulse.

4 trades closed and 1 position is still open :

* SSRM trade from last week was closed for a +3.52 % profit
* CMCL trade was also good : + 5.10 %.  Happy with that ...
* 2 consecutive trades in VTRS failed. Each time the loss was small.

* 1 position is still open : it' a new trade in SSRM shares.

Good trading next week.
See you next week for another update of these short term trades.
The update will be available under the April tab.

Update from Saturday 1 st of April
In the second half of the past week the Market Mood Model turned from a 'not so good mood' to a 'good mood'.

SSRM trade was open from last week.  Closed for a 5.12 % profit.
I opened and closed 3 other trades last week :
UIS : 0,55 % profit
ELAN : 0,77 % profit
VTRS : 0.94 % loss

I managed to sell UIS at the worst possible price. 

P.S. I have 7 principles in order to survive the short term trading arena.  The principles are not about stock trading itself.  The principles are about the attitude one needs in order to survive.  Without a correct attitude short term trading will be hard.  A correct attitude is needed to make progress.

ELAN was a flat trade.  Unfortunately for me because the stock is now more than 7 % higher since I sold ...

Update from Saturday 13 st of May
One trade this week and it was a losing trade.
A gap down in TEVA shares resulted in a 7.72 % loss.
Not nice , but this can happen.
When I review the past 4 and a half month short term trading , I can say that I'm pretty happy with these first steps.  Overall I was profitable.  Although I must work to become better.  There is progress to be made.
