Nooooooooo! It's glorious weather. We get plenty of wet, cold and dark so it's a windup when people complain about a few weeks of decent temps.

I've had a few bad runs coinciding with heat waves, so happy to leave the dogs alone until it's cooler.

Was it you or your strategy that was affected? ie markets acting differently or just you looking out of the window wishing you were outside. :D

Automated straight back\lay strat. Numbers went all over the place very quickly, when usually quite static. The peaks coincided with the intense heat so put it down to that. I have read that a lot of trainers pull dogs out when it's like this, which means a lot of reserves - throwing the pre off form data out of the window.
May have just been co-incidence but I'm always wary when it's hot.

My wife keeps trying to drag me outside and I'm getting "Get off that bloody PC, its lovely out there !" :D
