The situation in eastern Europe dominated the markets again today, with risk being transferred from stocks to currencies as the situation between Russia and the Ukraine deteriorates. This was clearly evident in falling stocks and rising oil.

This made ICS Balances within our pairs far from ideal, with momentum and overall points being restricted. However good points were still available at our usual times.

Our main casualty today was our initially Dom long Dax, which started to plummet as soon as news came in of the conflict severity. There were a couple of decent early trades and late trades but overall, the later trades were risky but feasible.

Tuesday saw another very decent maximum potential of 760 from specific Max Day Trading time/level entries within our four instruments from the UK morning session alone.

JUST A TEN PERCENT target would have yielded 76 net points, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
