IMO there is no real conviction either way at the moment and probably won't be until the US markets open. I still have a buy order at 4205 and a sell at 4145. As far as I'm concerned trading inside the Initial Balance is too messy today for me...

Good luck with it! I'm stopped out for the day trying to make the jump to trend trading. Today learning the pain of *just* getting stopped out then have the position rally to a potentially glorous profit. Fortunately just down a fiver!

i take it you sold more than 2 lots, as taking 15 ticks out of a sale @ 42 when the low is 35 would not be poss.
only asking as interested to see what size poeple trade.

Yeah - am trying to trade with more lots so I exit trades more profitably. Not quite got the hang of it yet though!! Not sure which prices you have but FS hit 4130.3? I think they tend to be 1 point below IG during market hours. The other day they move to 20 points below out of market hours. Caused me all sorts of problems as I use IG for charting!!!
