Hopefully we can see a sustained move below 4260 and get out of this range we're stuck in at the moment!

The prophet has spoken - well done Reza!

Although the more opinions we get, the more i trade and the more I learn suggests that there can be more than one right opinion. And as ever you should find your trading style and do your own analysis!

Good day to all!

these were all traded yesterday (apart from the one saying "traded today")...every position was posted live on this chat

what stops are you using? call me a cynical git but most of those are in the lower 1/3rd of where we have traded in the last 2 days. if the ftse goes up 5pts you are effectively fooked. wouldnt it be better to have the one postion with multiple lots of a short from 4300?

i dont know what you mean...i was trading at spot, if you tade at the FTSE cash prices (on IG Markets, which is where i trade through)...if you look at the prices at around the close, which is around where I traded...you'll see that it was around 4270-4300 range...if ur super keen, go back to my postings from yesterday, and you'll the times etc etc etc...and also, you'll see that I have an approx 40% (bit less now that iv added to my shorts without adjusting the option) hedge with a 3month call...
