components are listed quite nicely on yahoo and downloadable, i think you can compute / derive the index using this as it is by market cap. not sure how dividends impact this though.

It's a bit chicken and egg, if the FTSE futures are being sold off then the "black boxes" will sell the stocks and then that will probably cause more selling of stocks driving down FTSE more.
If certain stocks are being hit this will hit the FTSE which will in turn drag everything else down.

legend.
need to see how its weighted reall as well.
I'm live again now I'm thinking I'm just going to stick to one market for the time being and learn more about how the markets work from there. Principles are the same everywhere arent they? I thought that the only diff between markets is behavious patterns. Jumping from market to market is what killed me last time. Slow and steady for now.
also on my broker acc does that show volume traded through my broker of as per the exchange?

With the ftse volume data? compare it to volume of the top few most weighted components to see if its a reliable indicator on its own

No idea, depends on the instrument your trading and the broker, best bet would be to contatct them.

There isn't really mate.
Either Buy low, sell high
or buy high sell higher (or vice versa for a bear).
I'm not sure if there is anything to find in correlating volume in the stocks and movements in the FTSe future. You could just get someone offloading a program of FTSE stocks which will show a rise in vols but the market may soon recover as this is swallowed up but leaving you short the FTSE.
Not taking the p*ss or anything but since you've said you're live again what is your plan?
