Target move up to 5555 followed by 5577. Market opened up 0.4% at 5547.

Will enter a long on retrace back at 20ema, when 5ema > 10ema has confirmed.

S&P500 closed up 0.4% at (1141).
Australia ASX closed up 0.24% (4942) above resistance at 4900.
Japan (10798) up 1% after testing 10700 resistance.
Hang Seng (22296) up 0.12% and below resistance at 23000. .

I use trendlines and moving averages to provide entry and exit criteria.  With daily price movements averaging 75pts a day, my target is to make 30pts = £300.  I close 50% of the position when the target is met and leave the rest to ride until the exit indicators are triggered. I trade only during market hours 08:00-16:30 and close all positions daily. On exceptions in strong up moves when I've made the target, I will leave the order open to the next day
