Yes I know it's been some time since my last newsletter. What can I say except life gets in the way, things change and sometimes we need a break.

After completing my book The Zen Trader I decided it was time to refocus on other areas in life, for as we know trading and investing can be a little all too consuming. Over the last 18 months since the book was released I have had many kind messages from people all over the world expressing their gratitude. That's quite a humbling experience and thank you to those that bought the book and secondly took the time to contact me.

The book was originally released in the U.K. and the U.S. It was then translated to German and Spanish then released in those countries. Recently it has been released in India. For those that trade will be aware India is now an economic force of its own.

It is with gratitude and excitement I announce that the Australian Technical Analysts Association has invited me to present at their National Conference held in Sydney in late October. It's an honour to be presenting at the conference with the likes of Grant Abbot, John Bollinger, Daryl Guppy, Brett Steenbarger, Alan Clement and many more well known Aussie and international traders. I have posted a link below with details of the conference including the full speaker list.

I have also recently created a short 2 minute video explaining what I will be presenting at the conference.

I suppose some people may be interested in my view of the markets. I think prediction is pointless as "no one knows" what will happen and we live and trade in the present, but here is how I see it.

I have chosen to discuss the U.S. S&P 500 for it is one of the indexes that has the most influence on global markets. Despite the grave concerns of many and the terrible events taking place around the world the index seems to be holding up well. In my analysis I focus on price and volume and until those two indicators break to the downside, it's business as usual. Trading is a business and one of the most challenging parts of that business is to retain your equilibrium and not be too influenced by the negativity and fear of others.

Thanks for reading - its fun to be back.
