Message For Ftse Traders......

Got stopped on that one while I was having some lunch. I'm not pleased, because I was up around 20 points and thought I'd be safe.

There's a moral, there, somewhere.....

Re-opened at 3768.

The stop was at break even, but 20 points down is a long way. :mad:
 
I've put a stop at 3769 and hope for a pleasant surprise when I get home, tonight.

Good trading, this afternoon.

I've got a feeling that I'm talking to my ****** self! :)

Hi Minime,

only traded for a short period today had other things I had to take care of. Only took 5 pts this morning. my last trade( afternoon one) stopped out b/e, one of those ones when by the time i thought "should i close early and take a smaller profit" it moved back on me so i thought i will leave it to see if i could get a bit more but it stopped out, A little greed crept in there I guess. on the brighter side I was not intending to do anything so it is more than I expected.

sounds your time away has been spent positively.:D

see ya Monday have a cracking weekend.

Everything is looking very bullish, and on my data at least pretty much all indices have broken above their upper channels. No decent entries for me atm though.

I took a gamble and went short at the open as everthing was overbought. I am now out of it
 
still nervy though as all indications are a bullish day, I based in on the fact that at the of friday we were at 3785ish @ 8:00 this morning we had risen 100 pts + all indictors were showning overbought. so I made the call, could easily have continued to rise for the first 5 mins i would then have been stopped ot would never have puilled back to point of where I could have got out at even or a small profit.

this needs to settle before any real calls can be made

Nifty profit, Keith. I have decided that that second rise was not a pullback so have gone long.
 
Morning all - nice one Keithh, my attention was over at the DAX where the point difference was well over 100 points and hit monthly high, shorted that for +20 so nice start. But anyways, back to my beloved ftse...

What are any thoughts on Geithners speech and poss impacts today? Think the bullishness in part is linked to this...
