if u have a system u must follow it religiously, i think there is a website which helps those who are afraid to trade

FTSE levels for Thursday

Buy 5480
Sell 5470

these levels can keep you on the right side of the market. imagine getting short from 5470, would be good trade

Thanks for that. I have been a bit beaten up lately hence my visit to these boards ... decided to kick All of the indicators off the screen and simply use a 5 min chart with 8 and 21 day ema crossing for signals. Good day yesterday but still a bit nervous so I'll take your advice and lower the trade until I feel stronger! btw obviousy don't scalp ... looking for 3 or 4 trades a day.

That was the trouble, I kept changing things... timeframes, indicators etc I was looking for a magic formula that just does not exist. So like I say I'm going to keep things real simple for a while see how it goes.
