Hello to you all- yesterday (Monday) was always going to be a ‘slow’ day, with the U.S. markets closed for Labor Day, so I had no high hopes as usually the markets will just go sideways with no real momentum or direction. It just goes to show what an impact the USA has over the rest of the world’s stock markets.

I had an unusually early start for a Monday – I was at the screens ready just before 7am – and my first trade (with my ‘Any-Time’ System) was signalled at one minute past seven, and gave me 11 points to start the day off.  I had already decided that I was only going to work until the normal U.S. opening time (2:30pm GMT) and up to then I had another 5 trades with no losses, giving me a total of 62 points for half of a normal persons working day. We had a bit of sunshine down here in the South East of the country, so an afternoon off was most welcome.

Due to Labor Day, there was no trading with my ‘Trade With a Day Job’ system. This public holiday signals the end to the summer holidays in the USA, so we can look forward to some decent trading volumes from both the American and European markets up until the Xmas break.

I hope you all have a profitable day !
