what are people expecting to happen over ECB?

what are peoples thoughts on what will happen on various BOE decisions and levels etc

I got it through my Reuters. I personally won't be putting on any positions until after midday. Everything at the moment is going to be too susceptible to ECB sources story

GB Services PMI. Consensus was 59.8, leaked figure was 62-62.5 and it came out at 62.5

not sure. Will be short until it breaks back past 6710 though

thanks. I was surprised at the response to PMI's just then, especially as the figure was leaked correctly about 2 hours ago.

What monthly figures affect the FTSE the most? And then which figures CAN have an impact. Thanks

Hi, I realise there is another thread along these lines, but it seemed to move onto a debate on the morals/quality of the company. I have my first interview with Futex on Friday (after completing/passing the online assessment) I would like to know if anyone has any advice on things to read up...

Thanks. I thought it had something to do with the weekend but because there wasn't one on any other date I could see I wasn't sure. So the gap down happened between the Friday 10pm close and Sunday 10pm open? For a gap down to happen, is there a likely 'significant cause'? Would you know why...

New to all this so firstly, apologies if it's in the wrong sub-forum. Secondly, apologies for what I'm certain is an idiotic, obvious and silly question :) . On the 17th of March there is a large drop, not represented by a candle stick? [/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]

Thanks a lot for the reply Tim. Of course I by no means think that the 2 go hand in hand . I simply meant that, to me, it seems the fundamental skills that need to be applied to be successful in poker seem to overlap trading. I am under no illusion that poker is going to give me nothing more...

Bigmistake - Forex does seem a good option. The problem I have at the moment is obviously the forex markets are limited to however many markets and I don't know how to interpret the information to make a decision on possible investments. So for the while I am trading in anything and everything...

Bigbootybabe - I do have a an account with +500 that I opened around a week ago and received a free £20. I am currently at £24.86 and that includes a couple of accidently longing positions I wanted to short and vice versa that have ended up costing me. At least I know my intentions were right...

Thanks a lot for all the replies guys. Faceman - yes using some of my own personal finance is an option. The thing I am worried about is practice trading for however long, then thinking I can be profitable and lose a significant chunk because I am not and was simply 'running well'. I see it...
