FTSE 100 intraday trading - JUNE 2003

Yeah, I missed the 12:00 move but managed to scrape a few points on the next move down after the 1:30 data. Easy2trade broken again, so will probably give up for the day now.
 
Bonsai, I'm impressed! How do you manage to keep your cool and stay in through the US open. I always get nervous at that time, knowing that there will always be some kind of bounce then so try not to be in a trade just in case it all goes horribly wrong!
 
who said I was cool ?
just waiting for the 1hr to hit me and trying to leave alone.
 
never mind
its an ill wind that blows nobody any good

closed my anl shorts for +54
yum yum
 
For anyone using the Woodie CCI method, three lovely signals this afternoon on the FTSE 5 min chart. Zero-line break on CCI at 4200 resistance at 12:00, slingshot with reverse divergence at 13:35, and a Batman at 14:40. And all nicely under a descending 34 ema.

not too bad after all
If I had had more patience I would have closed at 45
instead of 57. Could have been worse.
 
A lot of people might have been surprised by todays action. But I
suspect the mood actually changed yeaterday.
Expiry is upon us. Be wary tomorrow ?

morning
still looking at the short side but frankly anything could
happen today. Including a pullback to 4180 !

10:30, I believe.
Went short @ 4133, but stopped out for -1 (moved stop in too close perhaps). Think I'll wait now until it decides which way it really wants to go!
 
bonsai

got lost!!

in your last chart post (yesterday) you say FIB 62% @ 4105. This is a retracement of the move from where to where?

good trading

jon
 
that's a pity
take 64 for +25
4170 always looked like it might be a problem on the charts.
so as its friday decided to settle for that.
Certainly , the risk of a fall has increased now we are at this level.
and at the mo the dow looks stretched out ?
 
seems very quiet today ?
no body trading or all on holiday at Reading Station ?
