As far as missing trades goes dont worry mate there are plenty of points to be made...

Prior to a few months ago I never touched indices. Now I spreadbet the FTSE and Dow intraday almost every day. I take no interest in predicting where the indices will go next day or beyond. I merely trade moving average crossovers when they happen. Using 7ema/20ema on a five-minute chart, with 14rsi taken into account, along with glances at a one-minute chart. No other indicators, no fancy patterns.
I don't mind whether the market each new day goes up or down or both - though if it's both I naturally prefer a few good moves rather than lots of titchy ones.
Will post a few live examples when I get time.

I've got a bit fed up with trading FTSE shares and yesterday put a toe into the index. I don't say that I'm going to like it-depends on whether I make money or not.
It means using the mornings for trading as I am working after 1330, although Monday I have a day off, Stocks I trade overnight but I don't intend to try that with the index.
I made 6 points on a long trade on Friday 5882.3 to 5888.5. It went higher but I tried for a breakout that didn't happen.

HArd to say what today will bring. Early yesterday we touched the 200 day MA then pulled back to 5840-50 which contained the market for most of the day. Charts indicate some rally today so buying the pull back. US futures and Dax level right now, so not jumping in.

200 daymoving average. Very supportive. All markets showing some reversal here so
going long 5842. Still september contract as there's no volume yet on the Dec. Risk is low as we have 5840 from the low of 28/8 which has been very supportive and just under that the daily S1 at 5838.
Safe trading

Today looks mixed. FTSE does not look as if its going to get back to the 6000 highs of last week like the S&P has, even though daily indicators have turned up. If the US futures start retracing which seems likely, could see a drop back to 5875 this morning. finger on the button to go short if we dip below yesterdays close 5896

Trend is definitely up, with US markets defying expectations yesterday and making new highs while the FTSE languishes 2 days behind. Should be time for catch up, so looking for long opportunity above 5912. Asafer bet would be to wait for 5920 as there is stiff resistance at several points up to there, so I'll maybe add on if we clear it with some momentum.
