Early UK & German economic data did little to nothing for volumes and volatility, which remain extremely low. We usually see 15 to 25 points between the 15 minute grid square on the German Dax but today we had just 6.5 points. This reflected in greatly reduced points for the amount of time spent in the market. The GBP/AUD would command similar points but this was down to 8, along with the higher spreads that we pay for these normally higher volatility pairs. The low volatility is also playing havoc with our ICS Balances which were far from ideal today.

Despite all this, we still managed some decent points at our usual times in all our instruments.
Tuesday saw a decent (under the circumstances) maximum potential of 445 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 44 net points from specific Max Day Trading time/trend entries, with many additional opportunities in the US morning (UK afternoon) and US afternoon (UK evening) sessions.
