FTSE 350 Sector Matrix

I thought I'd share this with the stock traders in the group as it's relevant for the thread. I've been working on a relative strength FTSE 350 sector matrix using point and figure metrics for gauging long and short term moves in each sector. Each one gets a buy or a sell score of 1 or 0 depending on the current signal and then I add them up to get an overall score out of 6 for each sector.

My hope with this is to keep it updated at least once a month as it takes many hours to do, so every week might be a stretch, but then I'll be able to see the changing scores for what sectors to look at in the long and short term.

I've only included the sectors that are tradable via spread betting or CFDs, and I found that IG do the most of which all 33 are shown.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Stop loss to 1.6501 for GBPUSD

Edit: I've added a manual 30 minute P&F chart of GBP/USD that I did as I wanted to see where the best place for my stop was, and basically after bouncing at support today it looks like it could break higher again if it goes above 1.6500, so I'm setting a tight stop to get out around break even if that happens.

My stop loss was hit at 1.6501, so a very small loss on this. Here's the closing details:

Closing Trade

GBPUSD (FX:GBPUSD)
Direction: Short
Entry: 1.64985
Exit: 1.6501

Percentage Loss: -0.02%
ATR Adjusted Percentage Gain: -0.02%

Trade Grade: D

I think the stop loss move was the right thing to do as the Pound trend is up and it has gone to a short term buy signal again on my P&F chart. So am tempted to reverse my trade and get in here. But I think I'll watch this one.
 
Stop to 7340 please,

target to 7400.

Think it will go higher (7500?) but don't want to get greedy.
