Could you do me a favour and take a look a the CYH thread. (The last 25 or so posts) I'm backing off because I don't want to get into a slanging match, but someone is quoting govt regulations (?, which I don't think exist) without anything to back it up. I may be way off base but you are way ahead of me and I hate to think people may take it seriously.....

US markets.
S&P and DOW will probably stay flattish until 1500Hrs
and then move according to the consumer numbers.
If S&P drops below 1049 expect the FTSE to give up
its gains.

melnibone:
many thanks your kind advise as "woods for the tree syndrome" with me at the moment just watching.

House starts a little weaker.
Nothing here to spook the markets.
Let's see how it trades.

the US dithers.
If the US starts to take yesterdays profits then
expect the FTSE to start taking yesterdays profits
and go negative for the day.
As usual, all depends on the US.

attacks in Turkey.
Markets will not like that.
Careful with taking out new longs guys.

What I'm seeing at the moment is most of
the stocks I trade are just rotating around
the spread.
It would be very easy to get trapped on the wrong
side of a move when it's like this and wipe this morning's profits.
Just going to watch in case a trend develops on the FTSE
in the last half hour that may yield a few points.

Market can't decide where it wants to go.
That's me done.

I've mentioned the 60 day ma before.
Above is a chart that is clearly showing the FTSE using
it as the bottom support line of a trend channel circa 4280.
If you extrapolate the peaks you get resistance circa 4420.
With light trading expected due short US trading week, I'm
not expecting any trend breaks unless there is bad news.
However, low volume can often give high intraday volatility.
So what I will be looking for is to sell stocks or the index
circa 4400 for trend down as Bulls take profits and Bears
open shorts.
Reverse this process if a trend develops in the other direction
from 4300.
Knowing my luck we'll probably just pivot aimlessly around
the middle for the rest of the week.
Just a view, but as I've said before, to take a position you
need a reason and a plan, and to formulate a plan you need
a view.
