Comments:
Weakness in the last hour of trading left the session bearish except for Dow Jones Industrial Average which managed to end the day flat.

It was a day that lacked any market conviction as the FB hangover continued and the news of FB potentially leaving the EU over the sharing of data.

About 50% of our trades ended positively. FB (chart above) was one of the weaker ones.

Energy continued to outperform as oil prices remained above $90 a barrel.

We continue to wait for the opportunities so are still watching this market patiently for the trade set ups we like.

Let’s go trade!
