FTSE 100 intraday trading - JUNE 2003

Bonsai

Any particular reason why you favour a line chart over a bar or candle chart

For the day chart I only have one plot every 15 mins
and it helps to simplify the summary.

Its that issue again about what I collect on which pc.

(I really must get a network card one day)

but in other contexts, I find it easier to read a line chart
than a bar chart and I have become a little disillusioned with
candle charts and (my) interpretation.

I find it helps trying to follow elliott on an intra day basis
and today was a good example when there is a lot of
overlapping.
the problem I found with intraday bars was you cant tell whether
the high came before the low or vice versa.

No, sadly I had to go out yesterday and I was not confident enough to leave it - so I closed my position at 1 point gain.
 
Well at least you gained! I'm leaving mine in for the next few days.I've got a bad feelin' man,a bad feelin'.
 
Oh dear, it's going to hit my stop soon. I have this golden rule - never move a stop. Not sure if it's right but I'd feel pretty stupid if I did and then lost my shirt.
 
Morning all

As MyTrack data feed was not working first thing this morning, can anyone tell me where the FTSE future opened and what the high and low of the day is so far?
 
Or if you can tell me for the cash index, that would be OK - they must be pretty similar now as it's only 1 week to expiry
 
Hey, its gone very quiet out there - no-one around? Markets very quiet too. Everyone must be outside enjoying the sunshine - may have to join them if no action on the FTSE soon.
 
...Jonny, there will be a bounce up, although it might track around 150 for a while before being released.
