Ok, no takers. What I'll do instead for a few days is post up daily charts and see if my thoughts are anywhere near. Todays chart - Price has been in a range since yesterdays drop. As it's a range there is no 65% chance of continuing in a direction. I'll stick to the 15 mins TF, and wait...

I've also started looking at this style on and off for a while, but I just wanted to clarify time frames. I have read Phils site and this thread but this bit doesn't seem to be clicking. Quite often what seems clear is less so when you actually try it. Most be going through a dense phase...

I've also bought this recently. Although I won't be posting trades, etc, I'd like to thank MinceMeat for the detailed feedback. As a new buyer, it does help that initial "have I done the right thing" feeling :) Good stuff

Hi, Started trading today after quite a break. I thought I'd test something on daytrading - something I have always steered clear of up to now (I'd rather lose my money more slowly on end of day!) I had a Finspreads account anyway but thought I'd open up a Cap Spreads one due to better spreads...
