OOOhhh - very nasty - I saw IG index spike down to 6125 ish on their rollover to tomorrows FTSE.
Anyone get caught out by that? Just a few seconds then back up to 6168 again.

Just so's you don't think I imagined it their homepage is showing Bid / Ask 6170 / 72 change +43.

you should have bought it! what time was it 4.29pm? might have a look tomorrow to see if it does it again 🙂

i am sorely tempted to buy the FTSE now with a stop under 6000, it would take cast iron 8ollocks though. mulling it over.....

how does the p/f method fair in a sideways market?

Dick
i follow 4 Fx pairs(Cable,Aus,Cad and Eur) and FTSE and Dow..
there is always something trending..and even if a range does develope,as long as you trade at edges
it should not be a problem....
as a rule of thumb,if price falls out of two PF's you are in a range..

I saw that as well but IG had stopped taking trades at the time. Must have caught a few people out.

Ha - They must read these boards! They've changed their 'change' price to be in line with a 6176 rollover price.

Watch out guys.

you have it right
optimisation...that is the key
optimisation of column lengths is the easy bit..you just don want columns too long...they tell you nothing
so...here is the good bit...optimisation of the width of the chart
by increasing the box size..you narrow the plot area etc etc
and here is the £10k stuff....keep the trendlines near the price....that is it..you pay £10k to some idiotic trading mentor for that tip....lol
that is it..nothing else to tell you

 

[Dentalfloss]

forgot to add
you are only interested in trends....the consolidations mean nothing,especially wide ones as they interfere with the chart optimum box size..so consolidations should be looked at only for the breakout point.remember that some consolidations tell you nothing
