UK & German economic data at 7am gave all our pairs a bit of a rollercoaster ride, with positive German data doing literally nothing for the Dom short Dax. Ironically later negative German data saw the index rise up to the US open. Bazaar but that’s the Dax for you. Mixed UK data caused more consolidation than give us definitive trends, with ICS Balances taking their toll too. Despite all this, there were still some very healthy points available in all our instruments at our usual times.

Tuesday saw a very reasonable maximum potential of 800 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 80 net points, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
