I'm putting my neck on the line now and going all-in short on Dow/FTSE/Dax and MKS (up on bid rumours this morning).

You may never hear from me again after this if it all goes horibbly wrong for me 😢

Good luck with your trades chimpmagnet. Markets have turned south, hopefully
you will be profitable.

 

[Dick Lexic]

yes a fair old jump in MKS

I know the feeling. I was shorting the markets way to early. I should have done my homework and looked at the longer term charts. I'm new to spreadbetting, markets trends up end of year, 1st quarter, as I found out too late. Dug my heels in, done a lot of research which helped my trading. Looking for a bigger pullback early April.

ftse action looks like huge stop hunt.

how much does Cyprus really affect FTSE? not much in UK we are suffering soft default via inflation

 

[Dick Lexic]

47 looks like a key area

also 47 on s&p

thee is a 71 pt spread between june ftse100 and cash market, thats saying there are huge amounts of dividends to come out during next 3 months

open -63 weak
8-9am +44 strong
9-10am +15 strong
10-11am -12 weak
11am-12 +11 strong

and it keeps on...

12-1pm +10 strong
1pm-2pm -18 weak
2pm-3pm -5weak

it's bobbing back and forth like a cork in a stormy sea. You can almost enter blind keep taking the volatility jumps.

nice bounce in dow now above 14500
