The UK pound started the day on the weak side so any Dom long pairs were attributed to an even weaker partner. By mid morning, negative CBI Retail figures dragged the pound further down come the US open. Despite this, our GBP pairs were trending both long and short with good points in all on reduced volumes.

The Dom short EUR/AUD went off the boil by mid morning with positive German data that lifted the euro. Still some decent early trades at our usual times.

The Dax had a bit of a roller-coaster ride with early negative German economic data and late positive data. Volumes here are well down too with decent but restricted points.

Tuesday saw a slightly reduced maximum potential of 465 points from specific Max Day Trading time/trend entries within our five instruments from the UK morning session alone, with a minimum target of just 30.

JUST A TEN PERCENT target of this figure would have yielded 46 net points from specific Max Day Trading time/trend entries, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
