with a mandelson concerto in the background ?

what a waste of a good claret.

I think I know why Gordon's got that strange mouth tick.I picture him bent double,with his hands grasping the backs of his thighs thinking 'just another inch,just another inch.....'

Bit gutted today - thought I'd sold a Dec Dax last night. Turns out I sold a daily by mistake and they closed it!

Hi, sorry to post this here but I am doing my third year projecton the effect dividends have on our markets. I am looking for a list of the FTSE 100 companies and which pay dividends and how much? does anyone have any idea where I can find such a list?

Please email me at [email protected]

Thanks in advance Jamie Roberts

I am intrigued you are using Market Profile on the cash market when one cannot actually trade the index, just its members. Surely, the actual future index is more appropriate?

 

[bonsai]

try this ?

in my language, fib has held and now brokenup through 1 day sma from oversold.

signal was at 56.

I have just been reading about a guy on elitetrader.com (marketsurfer) that uses a trailing stop of 50% of his profit. Anybody use or has tried that method?

 

[bonsai]

LC
it is part of my 'emergency kit'

yes.

but only use it as a last resort.

 

[bonsai]

getting a distinct feeling this is going to be painful.
but a stop is a stop so have to wait and see.

 

[bonsai]

as it didnt take me out, have added another long.

signal still intact.

 

[Lambchops]

Bonsai - In this trade would the stop be at yesterday`s low. 4242?

 

[bonsai]

my original signal on this trade was the 1 day sma on my chart
so that remains my stop and becomes a trailing stop as it
continues to climb
unless or until some other price action changes my mind.
4280 may yet be a problem even if all seems to go well.
but the a/d seems perky so far.

edit

on the downside, we have yet to take out yesterdays late spike.

 

[hungrybear]

I opened a small long- see how it goes. My analysis says up for at least 3 days, but if today closes down I'll have to reassess. Target high on the 16th/17th, unless it goes down :cheesy: Stops at this mornings low for me as that would say something else is going on.

 

[bonsai]

now taken out yesterdays spike
so only yesterdays high in the way

added a 3rd long

fingers crossed.
its a long way to have come just to go back down ?

 

[bonsai]

a/d is still improving but I see some sort of resistance
just above 94

so that's a new negative.
and we have left a gap or two on the way up.

 

[Lambchops]

Doc - Did you put your full line on at one go or pyramid like Bonsai?

 

[bonsai]

seems to have wanted to gap up through my resistance.
btw, its a trend line from 4082
so now have a new stop.

will somebody please tell the futures that fair value is 14pts.

where are the bears ?

(don't believe in infinity. its just a mathematicians wet dream )
