'morning all,
Phew! Hectic one this morning: short HSBA @ 919.5 & LLOY @ 469.
Position: short BOOT, FP(50%), HSBA, LLOY & SPW(50%), long SBRY, TATE.
Had to shove more mazoolas into the old SB account to cover the margins on that lot
. I always make sure there's enough in there to ensure I don't get margin calls but will take it back out once I've closed some of these trades, as CMC pays lousy interest on spare cash.
Watching: poss shorts in DXNS, MKS, long CPI
Good trading,
Mark

'morning all,
Is anybody there? It's all gone very quiet on this thread (perhaps everyone's watching the cricket? ). Another busy morning for me:
Closed other half of FP short @ 178.75, after price exceeded yesterday's post 9am high. Opened trade @ 186.25 on 28/7. Another useful profit.
Opened MKS short @ 353.5 and DXNS short @ 155.5.
Current position: Short BOOT, DXNS, HSBA, LLOY, MKS, SPW(50%); long SBRY, TATE
Watching WTB for possible short & CPI for possible long.
Good trading!

Hello hello hello. morning mark and jon and everyone.
well its been dull in the market for me today and yesterday, still holding what i had, but tempted to short bt if it comes back up to around 220. not sure if this ftse is taking a breather or ready to go in the ring with the bear?? anyway i hate guessing, so will see what happens. its friday, i am chilling out with stops in place.

Don't lose your trading gains on the golf :cheesy:
Looks like it's a sectoral thing with my trades: banks/financials and traditional non-food retailers all giving short signals at the same time.
Concerning the FTSE as a whole, I suspect that it might be due a bit of a pause, perhaps travelling back down to 5200 over the next couple of months before moving ahead again. This is just a guess, though & I certainly wouldn't trade with that as a basis. I'll just try to stick to my plan.
Have a nice day

good morning everyone,
bought some lse, this morning on the back of a bid rumour, and will add more if it breaks 574. still holding old positions.
o missed vod, did look last week thinking there would be a break out soon, but totally ignored it as the ftse wasnt doing much. nevermind

Hi khi,khi said:
On weekly MACD, looks like a reasonable choice BUT short term, daily stochastic is very high. I'd expect a correction down over the next few days. For me, that'd be the time to get in: once the price starts rising again after the correction.
Good trading,
Mark.
