Not doing much in the way of trading today.
Mrs. Melnibone has got a day off and has a list of stuff
to do. :-((
Just as well really, can't log in to D4F again.
May see you later. Have a good one little woman.
Melnibone.

I've got a couple of longs I'm happy to hold to cover any upside.
Going to be away from trading a fair bit today so do not want to
increase long exposure in case US decides to drop and take FTSE
back again.
Not going to buck the main trend with index shorts, so will leave
the longs running and maybe look for a few scalps later on this afternoon.
Going to have to log off now. Managed to get logged in to D4F to prove
I haven't got any problems my end, so happy I can trade again when
I need to.
Melnibone.

GSK 1240/1250 sounds good to me Testex.
What I'd really like to see is a test of 4380/4400 on the FTSE
and GSK drop to and hold 1150p.
IF firm support was shown at this area on the FTSE, confidence
to push higher would be found and enable people left at 4400 prior
to the Christmas rally to rejoin and increase buying pressure.
60 Day EMA is coming in around 4410 at the moment, so this is a
real possibility.

greasy pole today will be positive ultimately, I just hope
that process wouldn't take too long! Not overly impressed
with these levels - never was a fan of too much red!!

Retracement is healthy.
People who were left behind can climb aboard.
Profits can be banked and promote a feel-good factor.
If you get a retracement that stops at support, people
aren't constantly worrying about a drop and look forward
to the upside instead.
Overbought conditions are rectified and TA Gurus start
telling everyone that everything is oversold and it's
time to buy.:-)

buy - I tend to buy on a dropping market - so I've kind of got the
urge but no ammo!! (lol) Didn't see a drop coming either and not having a great day so all in all not the best of days!!
Be lucky out there!!

When the Indices are making new highs folk
look at the blue sky above and get vertigo,
wondering where the next one will be.
When they drop to support and the view reverses back
up again, there's no need to wonder, you can look
up and see the next resistance level.
It draws stuff like a magnet.
Or if you like, think of all those bits of white fluff that
always seem to get drawn to your little black dress.
At least that's what I think all you ladies have at least
one of in your wardrobes. That's what I seem to gather from
all those interminable Winny @ Trinny programs that Mrs. Melnibone
encourages me watch in a hopeful effort to try and update
my fashion sence from my usual faded tatty sweaters and
ancient jeans. ;-)

Nice bounce on the US markets wouldn't come amiss now.
If they drag 'em up far enough I might take the profit
today instead of holding over the weekend.
Melnibone.
