little woman, don't change your strategy just because you are
trading CFD's.
The principal remains the same, you just have the added opportunity
to go short in Bear Trends instead of trying to fight them with
one hand tied behind your back.
If you find that intraday scalping doesn't suit your style or
temperament then why not try some swing trading in addition to your
LTBH investing?
Hope I don't sound patronising here, just trying to offer you
some friendly support.

Hi TP,

the Government whilst pretending to build De Loreans and
create jobs. ;-)

Looks like the S@P may try and close the gap open.
Trouble is, this will be after the FTSE closes for
the week and once it's gone flat anything could happen.
