David Fuller's view

My stock market trades have looked temporarily overextended recently so I decided to take profits on today’s evidence that upside momentum was waning. Accordingly, here are the results for my Nikkei 225 Index futures for the March contract: bought at 17787.5 on 27 Jan, sold at 18675; bought at 17997.5 on 12 Feb, sold at 18675; bought at 17875 on 12 Feb, sold at 18675; bought at 18342.5 on 19 Feb, sold at 18675 3 Mar.  These were all equal sized positions.

For the German DAX Index I bought the March contract at 10978.8 on 12 Feb, and 11233 on 26 Feb.  These same sized positions were sold at 11265.8 on 3 Mar.

For the EU Stocks 50 Index I bought two-thirds of my position in the March contract at 3422.5 on 12 Feb, and the remaining one-third at 3477.5 on 19 Feb.  These were sold at 3547.5 on 3 Mar.

These prices include all spread-bet dealing costs.
