do you mean a 1000 units ?

probably 27.8 because of the gap up

Just seen that Task..... Lloyds someone has put a rocket underneath it ( most banks are up )

yes you should get back to 28 p i would have thought

Aston Marin has broke out from a Trend line on the daily...... Ive bought a wad with some divi money for longterm hope trade also just 10 units on a S/B

Ha ha that Dax can be an awkward so and so ....... and guess what that LGEN went to my target and beyond but always grateful to get a profit

closed out at 194.80

Yes i see what you mean Task, the resistance up ahead.

It will depend on the ftse but only have a very small initial target of 195.40

long Legal and General

This trade has been a B xxxx Y nightmare to trade this morning. got stopped out at B/E went back in then had to trade 5 units on 5 min rejections and now have 2 units left running.. I think the problem is the short term techs are all a screaming buy ( the dumb traders) but the long term techs are deffo a sell....... any way now ive closed out my last two units at pivot out now all with a decent profit and off for a walk

Yes at least the pivot but my TP is 1.84110 but it has bounced around a lot this morning .
We need the FTSE to go up to really make this drop

short GA just now

went back in short got half my loss back on a TP just now ... diner calling

Ditto.. closed out of short gold in a small loss . Its too bullish( ... but still a decent amount up on the day.

Ps look at that A chf

you should get some short out of it but it wouldn't surprise me if A chf bounced up again ( as its becoming cheap for real F/X traders..... gold ill take a look

I m out of A chf with small profit! it was difficult to break through because the consensus was short but i think it might be worth another look in the morning ... yes missed out on gold trade but cant be everywhere...

A fairly good day all round.

Ive had enough now and just coming up to the fix............. its all change up to 5 pm then off it goes again

. Ive got a roast chicken in the oven its calling me

long A Chf just now

looks like gold broke out ........ only just spotted it but not sure where its going right now might be on the turn

I turned to the S&P 500 which was a bit more easier so short ... deffo break now

Its only 3 points on your licence for being in drunk in charge of a Nuclear submarine.

Ditto run up to midday had a stab at Ftse short but getting a bit painfull now got a few quid out of it. I need a break i think
