melnibone-thx, only trading certain hours now, in conjunction with other traders confirming my thoughts i now play the 4.30 to 5.30 move as the Dow can mess about until out close then move, even if it does,nt sometimes if the ftse has been oversold the futs close the gap in this time frame, last 20 sessions has a 75% success rate for a smooth 10/15 point gain using my indicators, have a look at a futs chart for this timeframe!

Melnibone,

little drop on GSK - I am looking to get back in but am still struggling to time it right - if it drops below 1180 that is my current target. Do you also trade Astra Xeneca - any views prior to Thursdays results?

little woman - 26 Jan 2004 10:14 - 19 of 43

Been over to the Traders room. FKI apparently are going ex div tommorrow (for what is thought is the last time!) Many are going short on this one. DYOR

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 10:21 - 20 of 43

Hi little woman, not surprised they're shorting FKI.
See my points further up the thread on this one.

Alice in Wonderland price on this stock IMHO.

REf DVR, spread is too wide and liquidity is too low for me.

Ref IAP(ICAP), too close to 1600p and spread none too clever either.

Melnibone.

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 10:27 - 21 of 43

Hi Fundamentalist,

AZN is nice stock to trade. The price over 26 a share often gives a spread
circa 0.04%.

The current gyrations in the price are fairly volatile. There seems to
be some sort of Bull/Bear battle going on at the moment. Would not
want to get caught the wrong way if one of them wins.:-)

I prefer GSK.

Melnibone

hijeff - 26 Jan 2004 11:00 - 22 of 43

DVR now 2 point spread against 30+ first thing.

Parmalat debt now raised to $14 Billion, nearly as bad as my credit cards after Xmas.

little woman - 26 Jan 2004 14:15 - 24 of 43

FTSE seems to be moving sideways.

D4F spreads are getting worse again. Can't make up my mind to either stop trading CFD's or move my account.

ThePlayboy - 26 Jan 2004 14:19 - 25 of 43

lw only one way to trade ftse on a daily basis and thats with direct access imho, sber only good for longer term!

little woman - 26 Jan 2004 14:42 - 26 of 43

Sorry PB - but you're going to spell things out for me - I'm involved in so many "industries" all have their own terminology so I don't even try and understand (let alone remember) shortened versions anymore.

ThePlayboy - 26 Jan 2004 14:44 - 27 of 43

lw -little women

sber = spreadbetter :)

little woman - 26 Jan 2004 14:48 - 28 of 43

Thanks :-)!

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 15:32 - 29 of 43

Afternoon all,

Had a bit of trouble getting back in to the site again.
Seems OK now though.

S@P keeps failing to crack 1143/1144 area.
If we get weakness and a follow through from Friday
then it may even test 1131 again.

Not a time to be buying FTSE stocks until S@P shows
which direction it wants to go IMHO.

Either a retrace to 1131 or break above 1144 for another crack at
at 1150.


Melnibone.

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 15:46 - 30 of 43

GSK is annoying me today.

I was hoping for a nice dip down so that I could buy
the rest of what I want. They seem to be rising on a down
day which means the ones I've got may go into profit
too early whilst I'm underweight.

Perhaps I should have bought again at 1180 where Testex
was looking instead of being greedy and watching for 1150.
Never mind, the die is cast so I'll stick to the plan.

Melnibone.

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 16:00 - 31 of 43

S@P testing 1144 and Dow testing 10600 again.

If the S@P cracks it then the DOW should move
on up and take the FTSE with it.

May get some direction soon.

Melnibone.

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 16:07 - 32 of 43

Gotta have your dreams Testex. :-)

Melnibone.

little woman - 26 Jan 2004 17:07 - 33 of 43

Although as a rule I don't use charts, I do use them when I'm trading CFD's to compare the previous 60 min to current prices - but D4F aren't working and I find it really off putting. I'm really starting to dislike CFD's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

snoball - 26 Jan 2004 18:04 - 34 of 43

Why don't you use the MAM charts, lw?

Melnibone - 26 Jan 2004 18:11 - 35 of 43

I sometimes get that problem little woman.

What sometimes works for me is to select another 'Layout'
on the 'Layouts' tab, and then revert back to my own 'Layout'.

Doesn't always work, but it sometimes seems to refresh the
connection and kick the Layouts Server back into life.

Pesky things computers, but where would we be without 'em. :-)

Melnibone.
