You're welcome pixi.................however I only use IGIndex for SB's on shares.
-For index trading and forex I use betonmarkets!
-Check them out........good site/tools, etc.
Good luck with your FTSE short. Seems a safe bet to me though I don't often choose my own trades there. The way gold is rising against sterling looks at first sight quite ominous but with that one you have to take into account the increasing demand from growing economies such as China and India and the fact that it is gaining support from the Islamic populous due to their rules on investing.
I think a pullback may well be due but just don't use gold solely as a guide as too many other pressures are pushing up the price.
