Our GBP pairs were both Dom long and short at the beginning of the UK open and good points were available in both directions. Again we had a poor ICS Balance within the Dom long EUR/AUD with the AUD Index overpowering the EUR to give us a net short come the end of the morning session. Holiday volumes continue to keep a lid on overall points.

The Dax was the annoying instrument of the day, with an obvious leak of negative German economic data well before the announcement. This ended net short but there were still some decent trades available before and after the news had worn off.

Monday saw a quiet start to the week with a maximum potential of 580 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 58 net points, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
