Danny,
I try to check the entire FTSE 100 stocks and occasionally some mid caps for entry points. So I might not come back to ITV for a while. I'm placing lots of smaller trades at the moment growing my pots slowly... Oil is where the big movements are at the moment... I'm watching 3ois and 3Oil for an entry on the hourly charts. Those two are leveraged ETF at 3 X leverage. These are very risky, but provide big returns when called right, so I'm waiting on high probability trades for those, only need a couple of times a month to make a decent return I considered shorting Crude via 3OIS yesterday, as Crude tends to follow the lead of Brent. And I figured the psychological ceiling for Brent was around $55.
I had told myself I would open the short if the MACD turned positive on 3Ois as it was already oversold on the RSI daily. But I hesitated for too long, plus I was out for a number of hours today and it reached 8% up today. So now I need to wait to see which side is compelling. There's a pull back at the moment due to the 09/12 non-Opec meeting.
I'll wait on a decent setup on "RSI, and Wave Trend Oscillator bottoming, and aim to go long on either the short or long version as the MACD is turning positive. Returns can be 5 - 10% easily on each trade if called right. But strong risk management is needed as the losses can be big if not sticking to rules.
