Well - if its good enough for the FX boys........... :cheesy:

No harm in thinking positive is there - surely there must be other FTSE and DAX traders out there to keep a weekly thread going ?

Well may as well kick off............even though its a bit after the event.

I went short using the my trusty MA cross at 6502 on the future, closed one third at 90 for +12; stop at remainder at BE.

Anybody long?

I took a long position @ 91 on liffe futures. The euphoria for 13k on the Dow should pull us up but feel a bit nervous this high.
