Hi all
I am now using a 30 minute time frame and so to fill in the gaps a bit I thought a new thread much on the lines of the old one but without the silly constrictions of the old one.
So - no rules, just post what you are comfortable with, any sl or tp or chat is a bonus.
 
I am currently using a 100 sl and 150 tp but can change without notice

London open: Stocks fall as geopolitical risk remains high

- Gaza fighting continues
- Tensions still high after Malaysia Airlines crash in Ukraine
- Tesco rises as investors welcome CEO departure despite profit warning

techMARK 2,791.37 -0.44%
FTSE 100 6,724.54 -0.37%
FTSE 250 15,430.53 -0.81%

UK stocks eased on Monday morning as continued fighting in Gaza and uncertainty surrounding tensions in Ukraine capped risk appetite.

The FTSE 100 was 0.4% lower at 6,725.

While US markets performed well last week, shrugging off heightened geopolitical risks, "Europe and Asia can't quite shake off the possible ramifications of more sanctions against Russia and the intensifying situation in the Middle East," said Jonathan Sudaria, a dealer at Capital Spreads.

"With the turn of events still evolving at a rapid pace, traders will continue to struggle to accurately discount what is most relevant."

Over the weekend, calls came from the UN Security Council for a ceasefire between Israeli and Palestinian forces, which are currently engaged in a deadly battle in Gaza.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister David Cameron has signalled his support for additional sanctions to be made against Russia, and will today inform MPs about the steps being taken to gain "unfettered access" to the crash site in Ukraine. US Secretary of State John Kerry has also demanded that Russia take responsibility.

Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have escalated as the two nations pointed blame towards each other over the downing of a Malaysia Airlines plane in Ukraine on Thursday which killed all 298 people on board.

The United Nations (UN) Security Council will today vote on a resolution to make sure those responsible are held accountable.

Tesco rises despite profit warning as Clarke quits

Retail giant Tesco this morning unveiled a profit warning after a "challenging" second quarter, but shares gained after investors welcomed the resignation of its boss Philip Clarke. Clarke "agreed [...] that this is the appropriate moment to hand over to a new leader with fresh perspectives and a new profile", the company said, and will be replaced by Unilever exec Dave Lewis.

As such, Unilever's share price took a knock today, along with Tesco's supermarket rivals Wm Morrison and J Sainsbury.

Engineering support services group Babcock was in demand after saying that the new financial year "has started well" with activity levels remaining high.

Media firm BSkyB fell as it announced the purchase of a 70% stake in UK production group Love Productions, which makes programmes such as the Great British Bake-Off.

The last numbers quoted are tenths of a point.

EUR/USD Intraday: under pressure.

Pivot: 1.3545

Analysis: Short positions below 1.3545 with targets @ 1.349 & 1.3465 in extension.

Alternative scenario: Above 1.3545 look for further upside with 1.3575 & 1.359 as targets.

Comment: As long as 1.3545 is resistance, likely decline to 1.349. A false upward breakout is identified, this is a bearish signal.

GBP/USD Intraday: consolidation in place.

Pivot: 1.71

Analysis: Short positions below 1.71 with targets @ 1.7035 & 1.6995 in extension.

Alternative scenario: Above 1.71 look for further upside with 1.7115 & 1.714 as targets.

Comment: As long as the resistance at 1.71 is not surpassed, the risk of the break below 1.7035 remains high.
 
eur/gbp took profit +57 ( seems to be the figure multiplied by the vol size for profit/loss ) so if the stake was £1 then 1 * 57 = £57 profit. Whether they are points, pips, or haggises I care not.
