Hi Testex,
Watching SHEL. Wonder if the 330p you were thinking of
will come to pass?
Hi TP, my swing chart did give a cautious buy signal
as I posted on Wednesday.
Thursday was an inside day so gave no signal.
Still unsure of this, so keeping positions light
until the US makes up its mind which way it will
lead the World's markets.
There's no rush to lose money on a bad call.

Thanks for the info Testex, but I don't trade small stocks.
I like to play the liquid Ftse 100 stocks and use the index,(UKX),
as a straight short or a hedge.
Been quietly successful at this for just over a year now.
Been watching the US markets and the DAX to get a feel for
how they trade, and may branch out to try trading these in the
evening.
All things in good time though. There's no rush to make mistakes
and feed the market.
Melnibone.

Melnibone, Finspreads are worth checking out. Their service level is very good and the trading platform is fine.
I am also looking at trading the Dax.

Thanks for that snoball,
I'll check them out.
I've been trying out the Capital Spreads simulator, the interface
seems easy, but the charts and market quotes don't tie in with
what's really happening. They're different to the real market
prices and action, so it's like trying to play a computer game
rather than trade. Nothing is real.
