Good morning – well yesterday, in complete contrast to today, we had a slow but positive march upwards in the London Stock Market – eventually posting gains of nearly 90 points – and reaching a level we haven’t seen since the start of the year. Today, we have traders sitting on their hands this morning waiting for U.S. GDP figures to be released at lunchtime (GMT) and that will give us the direction for this afternoon’s buying and selling both here and across the water in New York.

My trading yesterday started just after 8am with a nice trade on the Euro$ (+12 pips)  - it’s always nice to have the first trade of the day put you in positive territory, and I had another 5 trades with my ‘Any-Time’ Trading System before my break for lunch. The afternoon kicked off with a small FTSE trade and ended just before 4pm with a nice +22 pips on the S&P.

My evening system (Trade With a Day Job) did not produce a signal, so all in all I ended with a profit of +78 pips and only one losing trade amongst the 8 that I took.
