close short from monday for +63 , then went long from 10,197

dipped scarily on tuesday, but then the later action, coupled with wednesday's buy action makes this week look like a 3.

so u i shall be offloading the remainder of my long at 10,260-10,270 and putting in a half stake short there, looking to build up to full size at 10,300 were we to get there.

Genesis has been having a good week thus far

long may it continue.

good trading, all.

right, here we go..

have been doing some solid backtesting over the past 3 months as i want to develop a more robust and consistent gain on my P&L. 2004 was only just profitable. not even worth the amount of effort that i put into it.

have looked into various FTSE and FX strategies, and i think i am confident with things going fwd.

basic plan is to go counter-trend on the FTSE, whilst trend-following on Cable.

will document all trades on here over february to see how we get on.

tomorrow is the 1st of february.

28 days is 4 fx trades, and a maximum of about 10 FTSE trades.

fingers crossed.

if profitable, then i will disclose the methods in due course..

good trading all, and may your golf handicaps all improve.

sold Feb futures at 4911..

FetteredChinos · Feb 3, 2005, 11:43am

added a short of feb ftse at 4907.

cable short has improved somewhat.. got to -100 or so and my eyes started watering, but thankfully it has pulled back to a little more than breakeven as i type.

couple more days for it to run at the moment.

loading up at 4972 on feb futures on CS platform..

i sense the retrace is imminent.

Cable short is going great guns at +150 or so at the moment.

well, the Cable trade turned out nice again!!

closed for a healthy 236 pip profit..

FTSE short trade still underwater, but it looks as though it is trying to make a move southwards.

next cable trade due at 2pm today.
