Hi all, I trade FTSE100 daily on IGIndex and therefore am subject to autoroll every day at market close. Usually my positions are closed and then reopened at a cost of 0.5 points. So a short position would close at 4100 and reopen at 4099.5. Today however I was closed at 4164 and reopened at...

Thanks mate...

Good point...! I'm well on the ball today!

I've been reading that the Senate will be voting today (Wed) on the new proposal...does anyone know what time they are expected to start the debate and/or what time they will be voting (London time if poss ;) )? Also, my knowledge of the US legislative procedure is not up to scratch - assuming...

Agreed.... Last 2 days have been manic...downside is becoming more apparent - medium term target around 4900...possibly lower in the long term...

I'm loving it! Looks like the bottom is falling out...medium to long term target 4900... Short term bull is over... I should have been confident with my original predictions... Answer to my original post - DEFINATE NO!

Hi - Did CMC resolve the issue? Did they reinstate your position? Surely they can't get away with acting like that?! And surely they have marketers who are searching the net for comments made about them which could hurt their business... Has anyone else experienced similar problems with other...

Hi S K... Looking at the FTSE graph, I still think that there is more to be seen on the upside in the short term - it looks like it could reach just below the 5700 mark before retracing along the downwards trend to 5200ish. I think there is potential for it to break the 5650 mark this week...

Thanks S K. Looks like you could be correct here - am going to watch the first few hours today to get a feel before I consider shorting though. Could be a very interesting week!!

Hi SK, Look at the rally following the GDP figures out of the US! Looks like we're in a whole new ball park now... Am considering a short position...long term, with a mental stop around 5800...only thing that is stopping me is that tomorrow is also a big day for economic figures, so I may...

Thanks S K. I would say that I agree with you - my analysis of the economic figures especially in the UK tell me that the worst is still to come. But having been hit by this mini bull, I have started to wonder if this is going to be the end of the bear market that we experienced. I am looking...

Thanks Trading2k. Interesting point - what sort of timescale do you believe the 5800 point may be hit by? Is there enough good news out there to lead to such a rally? My thoughts are that if we are indeed in a mini rally then we should not go beyond the 5650-5670 area before the...

Thanks Bladerunner. My personal opinion is that there is plenty of still downside risk. I think the FTSE may fall back towards the 5000 mark before the end of the year before recovering. This has been my long term opinion for a while. If the FTSE breaks the 5500 mark again I can see it...
