FTSE 100 Intraday trading - MAY

looking for longs while price above rising 34 and 100 ema's and rising trend under this morning's action on the 1 and 3 min charts.
 
Failed to make new higher high. Watching for trend break to go short. Still flat.
 
slightly off topic but I do trade some of the 100 stocks as well
what do you reckon ?
is this a buy or a sell ?

Cheers Bonsai.

I reckon this will go flat for next 30 mins until big boys get out of 11am meetings then we shoud see a bit of action. Which way???

Then all stop at 12.30 for the obligatory wait for the US to open!!

+ Volume dropping
 
jonny
thx
but I have just changed the fib
have another look
does that make a difference ?
 
barney
lol
I only position trade these stocks so my time frame is a bit longer than 30 mins
 
After an appaling run relative to the banking sector, it now has positive sector strength as well positive strength against the FTSE100 (UKX2). I would hold above the corrected trend, and so long as both relative strengths (sector and market) are positive.

BTW Bonsai - just noticed your address. Give my regards to Sid and Bill, and best of luck at the blood donors! :D

its all right for you technocrats but holding one arm out of this
window while holding the satellite dish and typing on the keyboard at the same time is getting a bit of a strain ?
 
thx for you views
here are some more from another place

Bonsai:
Shares in Abbey National, which have soared in recent days, could be pressured in early deals by news of a downgrade from ABN Amro
Typical analyst bullshit.

looks like a buy(big volume with move), but stiff resistance at 530, previous support and resistance levels, and mov 200 at 528.

I think it's a sell. Looks like it was on the way down from 500 but moved back up with the FTSE...so if you think if you think the FTSE will go higher wait a bit before selling

this is what makes the world go round don't you think ?
and the markets up and down

Now I am more undecided than before !
lol

serves me right !
 
this is always an interesting chart
anyone else chart it ?

Bonsai - How do you plot this one? presumably from a datafeed into a spreadsheet? What data source? A similar approach ought to be good for the dow futures as well.
 
Roger
nothing as sophisticated as that I'm afraid.
just a cheap TV card that gives me teletext as well.
thats why its a 15 min update.
Dow futures ?
you dont have winners and losers on futures ?
On the Dow cash I follow trin

I have to agree with Roger. It suffered horribly before the war and as financial stocks seem to bounce back from these situations most immediately, it has the most to gain? I don't want to say I did or didn't do anything because of the war - In case anyone reading this was personally affected by it. But all world events since Sept. 11 2001,then the Axis of Evil speech put the slant on things as far as I was concerned. Things still seem to be Bullish at the moment - There was an interesting article about the small-cap rally on CBS Marketwatch recently.But as the war recedes,we're back into uncharted territory again! So as long as you use stop losses and don't go in too heavy - worth a punt?
 
Bonsai - thanks for info. For the Dow I was thinking about individual winners/losers amongst the Dow30 stocks to give some leading indication. But only useful if in r/t.
