The FTSE100 is showing signs that it will sell off so we have opened a short trade at 5171 with a stop at 5210. This trade is also added to the list at the bottom of the blog. On a more general note retail sales came in with a poor figure but the market is doing its best to shake it off. I think it will fail to do so and that lower prices lie ahead as has been made amply clear by the nature of my blogs over the last few weeks. happy trading.
