Thanks max

In the main I find people try and read into things far too much, the market will do what the market does and the market makers have the dabble too! In my experience if personally find using Heikin-Ashi provides over 75% confidence in direction and serves me very well. No other indicators other than those mentioned previously are used.

If you are trading the FTSE then you do need to keep an eye on cable too! (GBP/USD). This has a strong correlation, in general (but not always the case) The FTSE trades in the opposite direction to cable and can be a good lead indicator for the FTSE.
