Good morning to you all from a wet and thundery East of England !!

Well, the markets had a steady climb up yesterday, with the FTSE posting another new high for the week despite a key U.S. manufacturing Index falling to unexpectedly new lows yesterday. One reason for the rise in the U.S. Indexes (which the FTSE follows)  was optimistic hopes in good profit announcements in the coming weeks for leading American companies, which are constituents of the New York Dow Jones 30 Index. Another bit of good news was that the number of Yanks filing for unemployment benefit fell.

On to my trading yesterday – I started relatively late for me (7am) and during the day I had six trades with my ‘Any-Time’ System, all of which were profitable (totaling nearly 90 points) and the ‘Trade With a Day Job’ strategy provided me with one winning trade of the usual 20 points.

I am off with my youngest son for a weeks holiday early tomorrow – so I will not be trading today as I have all the usual preparation to deal with when taking an 11 yr old away for 8 days.

I will be posting next on Monday 27th of July – as I have been banned form taking my laptop on holiday,  and in the meantime, I wish you all a happy & sunny weekend
