Volumes and momentum remain on the low side since the holidays, making point gains far from easy. However there were still some good trades at our usual times, even in our JPY related pairs due to an unusual strengthening in the UK morning session.

The Dom short German Dax took a little while to react but come 8 to 9.15am, the price dropped like a stone.

Monday saw a reasonable maximum potential of 650 from specific Max Day Trading time/level entries within our four instruments from the UK morning session alone.

JUST A TWENTY PERCENT target would have yielded 130 net points, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
