BP down 1.8% and still falling, posted the above Tuesday OCT 2, 2012, 3:40PM

SP 500 dec sell signal 8:41 ftse level is 5831 +5.6

Does this mean your signal predicted sudden FTSE drop at 8.54? If so well done.

thanks for your post.

not sure about the sudden drop, signal identifies weakness/strength

think weakness in ftse is to do with BP and BLT, down heavy

yesterday I said FTSE was 100% bullish, lets see how they close it today, would guess a small up close, but with BP/BLT so weak might struggle,

Extremely flat across the board.........
Anyone with any inkling or Chinese Whispers re Non Farm Payrolls tomorrow ??

I closed out my Cac Short earlier in small profit, but still hold an offside Ftse Short and don't like holding anything when those figures are released......

Still offside around 43 Points at @4 at the moment...

A bit of a hindsight trade this but I went long on FTSE at 5808 shortly before your above post. Last trade for today as if I overtrade it always leads to disaster.

I said that FTSE100 was 100% bullish for Thursday (today) FTSE saw BP fall 2% and BLT fall more than 2.2% yet it is able to bounce back, exhibiting strength I identified on the close yesterday. The SP500 is 81% bullish this means we get strong rebound from any weakness and leads normally to solid but modest up closes. The markets are being run by the Obama re-election committee.

IG should create trendlines which trigger an alert when hit, i have to manually create alerts every hour. when i could just move the trendline much easier.

This could be the reason for the weakness in BLT, was also weak in AUS.
BHP have been known to buy companies at very high price and get it wrong.

Forgot BHP have a lot of rigs in the gulf and last nights drop in oil

My ftse long stop got hit for 15 points profit. But 35 points for day will do.
