I closed my trade at 5039.8 and made £12.00 profit. I left this trade to go down quite far as 1, I was away from my pc (which I know is a bad thing to do) and 2, I felt that the FTSE would go to around 5040.
My stop loss is normally 10 points. As for your stop loss I can not see the difference between 5 and 6 stop loss. I am new tho!
I am hoping that the FTSE 100 will rise above 5030.0 - but I am hoping.
I am not an expert! I wish I was. I will just keep reading my books!
Good Luck!
