Thanks fletchie. Me too. I actually have stayed out for most of the day, but have taken the odd scalp. I think the FTSE is about to break up. It's got fed up waiting for some help from the ES. The FDAX and FESX are down 3.5%, maybe they will give some of that back.
Is anybody aware of a free service that downloads the economic calendar into your outlook calendar? I have found the following which is $9.99 per month:
Econoday :: MyEconoday Solutions
Well worth it I'm sure but just being tight and wondering if you can get it free somewhere else?
At the moment, I print out the economic calendar for the week but there are times when I forget news events are coming up. Would be great to have an alarm going off in Outlook 5 minutes before each major news announcement.
Dick Lexic - thank you for mentioning that you can get Ransquawk free through Capital Spreads - much appreciated.

Chris, I've always used Forex factory for earnings calendar, and Earnings Whispers for US earnings news (only of use at results season for the likes of GS and BoA)

If we do retrace before hitting the 5089 cash.. then the best I can see is doing is maybe 5310 / 54

the later would be ok
target FTSE 5343 being set today and may produce a 400+ target tomorrow
the DOW is still the same 11795 at the moment

ideally looking for big swings overnight this week and little movement in session with a short week players will want to cover positions

My levels for today
5462
5409
5374/80 - Top of Fridays value area
5333/1 - Fridays Low/ yesterdays high --- suspect market will try to get back to this at least.. 5344 was bottom of Fridays value area
5200 - yesterdays low
5147
5112
yesterdays VAH - 5275
yesterdays VAL - 5209
it looks like we have a lot of resistance around the 5330 - 5379 range.. so if we get up here I would expect a bit of a fight.
Have a good day

sellers fighting back
The trouble with eurobabble news is that you don't know what is babble and what is trouble. Now the price action from just after 9:05am was sudden and severe and looked to me like a news event and not normal price action. At that point the FTSEZ1 had put in a higher high on the 5min chart and was possibly making a higher low, before the change in price action.
Now if the news was babble, then the upward price move should re-establish itself, but if the news really was important we should see a change in bias, and get some continuation down.
