What a month this has been for trading… Corona virus has seemingly played havoc with all markets and the EURO has reacted with volatility at first plummeting and right on the last day of the month seemingly supported by the major institutions.

Seeing value and opportunity is more important to my trading than looking good at month end.
We had a high water mark at 3% for the month and continued to scale into positions that are likely to crystallise in March.
