No problems here - been out for a while though, trying to forget the most hair brained trade I've done all week!

you mean youporn and redtube don't you.... lol

I will defo get in contact with you. In the mean time I have to practice a load of maths! Bought a book to speed up my mental maths I hate division though!! Everything else i'm ok at I reckon just need to brush up and speed up.

Looks like we're going to have a bounce on the FTSE off my trendline. Break maybe?
I think I'm getting a sugar rush drank half a bottle of coke today 2ltr bottle!

Short FTSE @ 3933 with a stop at 3950. Failed retest. It looks much better on the US Indices though.....

Did the same - using s&p as a cheap proxy. Sold it as oil looking bullish plus loads of resistance lines. Took profit too soon though.. oh well.

Well done,
I just missed that set-up, disappointed now.
It was there for the taking for everyone.
Hope you close it now

very nice - well done! I got the move right as well, trouble is my losses are in the ftse and my gains in the s&p at 1/4 the size. haha!

Nice one mate! Did you keep your stop at break even when that short spike occured then let the price fall again? No trailing stop?

Hey Vics! in the process of updating my profile at the moment - done some trading professionally before, but now it's time to get serious. Not a tennis fan - my original name was so rediculous that it got changed to 'tennisball' by the admins! 'TB' works for me as a moniker though.

No I kept stop at the top as I wasn't too sure how long it would take to develop. I shouldn't have closed so soon but there's a lot of congestion around 3900 and I wanted to get out sooner rather than later. Re the short spike, remember I'm trading 1 hour bars so can't see that sort of thing too easily!!

P.S. You will now see that I should have stayed in - Dow and S&P starting to tank a bit

My original mental target was 3875 - odds on it will hit it now!!
