I Have A Dream

Unfortunately my dream is nowhere near as lofty and as worthy as Mr. King's. Our man, Martin Luther dreamed that his four little children would one day live in a nation where they would not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.

And my dream? Well, it's that after a full day's trading, my P&L is exactly zero.

Er... what?

Yes, a little bizarre, I realise. Surely my dream should be a P&L of £50,000? I can't really explain it, but for some reason, I've often thought it would be kind of cool if I traded for a full day and after all the wins and losses, I ended up dead on £0.00p. I just think that would be excellent.

Admittedly I didn't trade a full day today - this evening, I only had three trades, trying my hand on some of the friendly internationals, but I came just about as close as I've ever come to my dream scenario.

Maybe next time... Maybe one day, my dream will happen.

Incidentally, there was nothing amusing about the horrible clash of heads during the England v Holland match between Huntelaar and Chris Smalling, and I sincerely hope they'll both be okay... but I couldn't help a small guilty giggle at seeing Huntelaar lying on the ground with a mouthful of grass. Couldn't quite work out how that had happened.
