FP &F4----Yes, made it reasonably straightforward for us today so far!!Dow short closed @ 16375 for 107 points , switched long now from 16380. Dow 16400 looks like the level it wants to call home at the moment -----GLA.

FP---Welcome back . Short Dow from open @ 16482-----Going to be interesting from now on i suspect -----GLA.

Good Morning All----- Hope you're all ready for the shortened trading week----could be interesting . Markets well down , reaction to Ukraine will probably dominate , especially if Russia feels it has no option but to intervene with troops .----Sell in May and go away will add to the downturn as well ---- One FTSE short triggered this morning , have others in place either side of 6810 at intervals .DOW will be more difficult i suspect ?----GLA.

FP--- well the DOW is all over the place ? ---stopped out of my short , and stayed out for a while hoping things would settle a bit ---Just gone short again on the spike @ 16588 -- GL.

Hello All --- just one trade in today for me , Short DOW @ 16556.-----But have an order in to short Aviva tomorrow ( bit of consolidation likely now ) ----GLA.

FP & GB ---welcome back . Still long QPP , topped up with a few more today @ 19.5 p to bring my av. down a bit , time will tell whether the dust has all settled yet . TW looking good now for an investment !! --- Took my eye off the DOW and found to my horror i'd somehow missed to put a stop in place , so came back late to find i was about 1500-00 smackers down when it came back strong last night --- try not to make that mistake again (lol) . Futures giving a 16507+ open , see if 16500 holds or not soon --- make up some of those losses ,hopefully, today ---had plenty of coffee to keep me alert (lol)-------------GL both.

Closed long 16390 , switched to short ------------Dow looking very weak on the breaks ---Hogging the bb, will go away for a while (lol)----GLA.

Long DOW @ 16376 ,( 16370 break high) ---looking to break above 16400 hopefully .---

DOW short closed @ 16356 for 52 points , break up after testing 16355 several times. ---

DOW failed to hold second attempt @ 16410 , so short now from 16408.

GB-- hi, topped up QPP again on the drop this morning @ 20.5 p -- Lowers my average to 25.4 p now ---Still a bit of a gamble but hey-ho, it's only money (lol)(sob,sob)( lol) -----GL.

Well Done Guys ---Been out since morning, just back , catching up --- watching Dow at the mom. My AHT "bombed "again -- getting annoyed with that one (lol) --- QPP still looking dodgy ---GLA.

FP--- yeh, Apple results came in above expectations , and Dow flew after hours . Did , however , remember to lower my stop on IMG short and bank 12 points . QPP sliding again !! I'll hold my posns. for the moment ---GL.

FP---- Dow closed at 16510 --- Had three attempts at that level and failed , so banked 30 points to add to todays "scalping" -- will watch for a break from there , 16499 as i post .---GL.

Missed it the first time round but long the DOW now from the second bounce off 16480 ------------GLA.

FP----Did you notice yesterdays DOW chart formation --- Almost a perfect upside down semi-circle ( can't remember the technical term) giving 16565 as its peak --- i should have gone short @ the peak (lol) --- hindsight is truly a wonderful thing !!-----GL.

FP --- Yes , well done on QPP . Took some profit on mine @ 28 p , leaving rest run for now . Good luck on your DOW , futures in your favour at the moment.---GLA.

Looks like DOW wants to test 16580 which is previous closing high on two occasions , i think ??

FP-- QPP lost ground into todays close ? Take care , couldn't get a guaranteed stop loss on my posns. --- hope it don't tank tomorrow again !!-----just scalping the DOW now --GL.

FP-- nice trade . Long DOW @ 16465, just out @ 16520 ( wow) --- Just as well as QPP "tanked " on some dodyy report from Gotham --got back in @ 23 p ---GL.
