I'm the same Testex. The best option is sometimes to do nothing.
Over-trading when in doubt usually costs me money.
It shouldn't really do much today with the US closed.
Just whipsaw about IMHO.
If the US doesn't plough on above 10600 tomorrow then I
reckon that TP will have got it right and we revisit 4450 on the FTSE.

Stan,
what exactly is the problem you are getting with stockwatch. The system is working fine at the moment.
Regards
Ian

I rang D4F to be told they are aware of the problem and are working on it. The only thing they can offer me is to deal over the phone (which I have to pay for).
The spreads have widened too - on both sides, not just one!

TP, we all get it wrong sometimes, look at my miserable
performance last week.
Stick to your winning strategy, as you are doing with your stop loss,
and you'll soon be back on track.
I've no compunction with cutting positions and taking losses
when I've lost the plot. Works out best in the long run, better
than being in self denial like the punters you read about that
lose their entire stake through fear.

Paint, that reminds me, my porch ceiling still needs its last
coat.
Might take this opportunity to get it done and store
up a few browny points with Mrs. Melnibone.
I see we've just had a little squeeze higher.
I wonder if a few Bears went in early and stopped out
when it started to go higher again?
Easy day to lose money, this.

There's an old saying that says you should never short
a dull market.
Seeing as I've no intention of chasing these longs, that
doesn't leave me a whole lot of options.
Anyone looking at the Ex Divis on Wednesday with a view
to picking some up today or tomorrow?

Exactly my own thoughts, Testex.
Chart looks a bit toppy at the mo.
BLND looks even toppier.
See what tomorrow brings I reckon, there's no rush today.

Still having problems - my statement tonight should be interesting!

Still looking at IMT Testex, undecided at the mo.
They keep tracking down cheaper on an up day.

You've convinced me. Only an hour and a bit left for trading and
anyone buying for the Divi tomorrow morning will push the price
up.
In IMT at 1080.

Sounds good.
Heard on Bloomberg that Tom. H reckons that the US markets
nearly always go higher the day after a Holiday.
If this is true then all the indices will break to new
highs at these levels and who is going to short the start
of a breakout?
Decided I couldn't be bothered painting the porch ceiling.
Have moved the laptop to the kitchen to monitor the action and am getting my
Brownie Points by doing the ironing. :-)

Interesting, GSK back down to my sell price and SHEL
appears to be doing the same. :-))
Looks like I might be getting back to the market rhythm.

Well, now there's a thing.
I could now buy back both GSK and SHEL cheaper.
Seeing as I lost the rhythm on these two last week
probably best if I leave them alone.
Got my eye on SBRY again, it's back to the bottom of the
uptrend channel.
