Staying on the side lines Here's what I was working on. The FTSE daily price movement was a small distraction. See www.moneybooty.com/staying-on-the-side-lines/

Well I have placed my stop above Monday's high and looking at the intra day chart today it appears to be finding some resistance around this level. I don't tend to move my stops as I see this as the point where the trade has confirmed itself as a loser. I'd be interested to hear other peoples...
