Back to a little bit of normality yesterday (Monday) after the madness that was attributable to the Non-Farm-Payrolls figures on Friday. Although having said that – the London Stock market traded for most of the day in a tight 40 point tunnel, with a modest rise once the New York session got underway at 2:30pm (GMT) but profit takers jumped in at the end to bank some of the recent gains of the past few days.

My trading day started at exactly 8am with a trade signaled on the German DAX Index (with a modest 10 pip profit) and I carried on to have another 7 more successful trades before I had a (very) brief 15min  break for lunch – as you know I do not usually trade between midday and 2:30pm, but the poor show on the markets on Friday gave me added incentive to have a bumper Monday. The afternoon was a little quieter though, with just another 3 trades on my ‘Any-Time’ System, giving me a total of 11 trades (10 winning & 1 losing) and a 77 point profit by 4pm. My ‘Trade With a Day Job’ System provided me with the usual 20 point profit just after 6pm – giving me a healthy total of just shy of 100 points for the day.

And finally – a happy story about how to run a successful Railway franchise – perhaps all the regional rail operators in the UK should take notice………..

I hope you are all having a profitable day on the markets.
