Poor ICS Balances within our pairs gave us a prior warning of a lack of trend momentum within our currency pairs from the UK open. Ironically, the main pair I traded today was the now defunct GBP/USD, which had the best balance and momentum by far. All other pairs still gave decent points at our usual times. The markets need some strong (or weak) economic data to stir the pot, something that has been lacking all week.

The Dom short German Dax did well in the early hours but a trend conflict with the NAS100 and FTSE100 pushed the price higher in the latter part of the UK morning session.

Thursday saw another reasonable maximum potential of 425 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 85 net points, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
