Trimmed of a few more to pay for lunch next week

The move is worth about 60 pips on the Zero

Did not even bother looking for levels to trade from on EU today

Next week after NFP will look again at EU

Moved stop to lock in a decent number on leftovers

PlusNet superfast fibre optic broadband upto 80Mb. I get the following -

60Mb download 30Mb upload if connected directly to the router
30Mb download 15Mb upload on my WiFi

Speed depends how far you live from the cabinet in FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) if your exchange has been updated to fibre which you can check here - http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search

£23.49 per month + line rental (up front is £9.49 p/m). 1st 3 months is £8.49 per month.

Excellent service, never had a problem with the connection. Installation was as smooth as a baby's bottom!

P.S. With WiFi you will always get half the speed than when you are directly connected with cat 5 UTP network cable. Try connecting directly to the router to see if speeds/quality improve rather than using WiFi.

Watch out for that, I heard some awful stories about throttling with them ...but not only P2P etc but some data feeds and brokers as they got wrongly marked as "throttling" connections.

If you are in London and for a retail connection try BT Infinity. IMO is the "less bad". Otherwise, you may need a commercial broadband for a decent access (and a lot more £££)...

Nothing new to see across the board. Markets flowing steady and naturally but they will make the intraday pause until results. Only a major problem like in 2004 will delay the continuation.

US election chart update.

Obama closing his 1st term with the best single stock market performance in 30 years. Clinton has a better record but joining his 2 terms. Historically election day/week has always marked the max retrace/pullback before smooth continuation until winter/year's end for Q4. TA wise this seems to also be case today.

Tracking intraday/daily pullbacks in Gold, Oil, ES and Euro (1701.xx, 88.1x, 143x.x, 1.285x).

Personally I haven't had any problems with them at all even during peak hours, but the defined peak hours is after London close. Here is a chart at -

Now for an extra £5 p/m (They call it PRO) you can have SOME of the throttling removed. Archie who lives in High Wycombe can use the following page to check -

http://usergroup.plus.net/prodcomp1.php

I suspect the brokers' feeds come under the category 'Streaming'.

Like you say, to get a non-throttling connection, he needs a commercial line and then a residential fibre optic for backup. BTW, BT also throttle at peak times -

http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/d.../c/346,402,424

So the UK has superfast fibre optic (FTTC) for many households (I live out in the sticks and we got it this Summer) but it is all held back with throttling. Maybe you're right... it is time to move to Korea (South preferably )

going back to 1901 till present... the difference is 27% depending on who is in office. one party average is +74%... the other +47%... the one with 74% may surprise many.

.... 1901.... wow it will take some work to update that chart but I can imagine the results...

In any case,very decent day across the board but we are reaching the end of the moves in my charts. Most retraces/pullback in key markets completed (or crumbs away from).

Trading day is over across the board. Nothing to do except watch the election results hopefully with a clear winner and without too much soap opera at end...
