Right - I am short FTSE at 4197.3
Stop is 4230
First Target is 4180 and aim is to see 4140
Reasons are that Minus Development on the 0830 candle is now confirmed following spike as market tried to find a way back to yesterday's value area and failed.

I was short 4195 came out flat as it wasn't foing anywhere for me and wanted to be out pre news, seems to be support at 4190 level.
My view FWIW is that we are seeing hesitation pre the 1030 Inflation Report. Once this is out it should free the markets up. At this stage I don't think the 'Other Frame' (longer term) players are in yet. In other words we are at the mercy of the 'Short Frame' (locals and daytraders) traders who don't have the muscle / inclination to move the market too far..... Once the Other Frame players come in they will show the market direction and everyone will jump on the bandwagon.....

Well done with your analysis - you are thinking like an experienced trader!! I for one will be watching out for your posts!
Following yesterday's furore I think we are yet to see the Other Frame players in. It's looking as if yesterday's new value area (where we are today) is being accepted by the market for the time being. Alternatively this could be nervousness. I am now placing two orders as follows - both with initial 10 point profit targets:
Buy FTSE @ 4234 (Stop @ 4224)
Sell FTSE @ 4173 (Stop @ 4183)
Why? Because I am looking for scalping opportunities when / if the market breaks through Initial Balance and starts to test price extremes......
