You ever looked at the daily options on IG index

puts/calls

I do SD, would be interested to talk strategy.

They are very useful when you have a strong idea where the market will go.

so would I.. I have never used them ,, but pro friends of mine do and I know DC used them a lot..

no..why?

when u were going long , i thought it was another way to do that without having to get stopped out

for instance you can sell one 13,220 call and buy two 13,260 calls

FTSE trigger levels for Thursday

Buy 5776
Sell 5766

FTSE100 4.35pm close = dow level 13,240

will 79 hold today? still need a new high

 

[SuddenDeath]

yesterday dow showed strength rebounding from being down 87 to close down only 10pts, but some technical weakness has been caused to the dow,

still within 32pts of the "neckline" of inverse h&s

Today GBPUSD is strong will put downward pressure on indices unless it reverses, down 32 pips and 50pips should seal the deal, BP holding firm today

 

[DaddyJohn]

inside bar potential for DAX today.. says it all really... am trading lightly today.. I never seem to do well on ECB day.. so caution my watchword... was long on open .. but out now

 

[DaddyJohn]

if DAX is goign to break out to upside .. I would like to see a bit more wash and wipe lower down.. havent seen that yet

 

[SuddenDeath]

the buy sell triggers work better on the ftse futures than cash, the cash is gapped open and difficult to be filled at the correct level

Futures currently trade at cash minus 35pts

RIO looks like close to breaking 8mth trend-line support

 

[Dick Lexic]

anyone think bt is a buy?

 

[DaddyJohn]

anyone think bt is a buy?

I wouldnt.. looks weak .. you did mean BT and not BP?

 

[Dick Lexic]

yes BT

 

[SuddenDeath]

anyone think bt is a buy?

Long VOD and short BT as a hedge

 

[SuddenDeath]

BT are competing against Murdoch's Sky, what do you rate their chances? Do you remember a company called OnDigital ?
