Short still open here My view remains unchanged for now . chart below showing that last stand on the 20Sma , if that is broken am quite happy with my target whereas any strength would give me the first doubts . But the dark candle is suggesting a bearish market , the only bull day was really very weak . i.e. last Friday Lets see either way this is a win already .

Moving my s/l to 185 So this trade is now sure to stay in profit or close at profit no matter what ( my short posted below is still open at 190.4) Target unchanged .Lots of shorts are piling on here Over 20m at this moment . Remember free float is much lower that outstanding here , 418m vs 195.5m so 20 over 195 . Or over 10% of free float is short Just my 2p observation 
) ( though copying my trade would have made you good money so far )

Re: I post my trades live Hi Lambrini Oh not this time . Still open , still the same target and stop loss . I will post when closed , whether I lose or win I always do that . Funny as on the Easy jet bb they seem not to like that . i.e. I post a good trade and I get told am on ignore or other nonsense ! Weird world we live in What are u trading ? Looked at Ophir chart ? seems like if it breaks that 50sma and deifies what seemed like a break out to the downside of the triangle on the daily chart , it should have some nice wings for a good trade . I suspect anyway . Am glad you are around on these bbs ! Very few traders and a lot of blah blah

agents who left zoopla enquiring bout returning med that traffic to OnTheMarket has been “anything but exciting”.It also claimed that “numerous” agents who cancelled their Zoopla subscriptions are inquiring about coming back.Quoting web monitoring firm Hitwise, Zoopla said: “On its first day the OTM website attracted only 23,000 visits, with many of these coming from industry participants interested in seeing the website for the first time.“Since then traffic to OTM has halved daily to 12,000 visits on Tuesday and less than 6,000 visits on Wednesday. This compares to an average of 1.5 million visits per day to Zoopla Property Group’s (ZPG) websites, giving OTM an audience currently under 1% of that of ZPG.“The data also seems to suggest that those agents who are promoting OTM heavily in place of their own websites in their offices, emails and press ads are not just missing out on a huge audience for their brands from having dropped one of the major portals but are also starting to see their own website traffic hit by effectively diverting their audience to their competitors.”Lawrence Hall of Zoopla Property Group said: “Our audience and traffic has remained unchanged since the launch of OTM and whilst Mr Springett seems to be taking aim at ZPG as he sees this as the only way for OTM to get a foothold in the portal market, he will soon learn that delivering great products to consumers and excellent value to agents is the only recipe for success in this space.“Given the hype and media attention surrounding the launch of OTM this week the audience figures to date are remarkably weak when you consider what he has asked his members to give up.“We are a very data-driven business focused on the value that we deliver to our members. So, rather than making unsubstantiated claims and promises as others seem intent on doing, we will let the numbers speak for themselves as we have always done.“And we are already seeing numerous agents who cancelled to join OTM inquiring about coming back to ZPG as they are starting to understand the costs of giving up our services.”

New short form me at 190.4 first target 160-165 . s/l 200 . Risk / Reward 9,6 loss , around 30p win . So 3 to 1 suits me . All the best . Reason ; TA . i reckon chart resistance is not getting broken and this in a downtrend has all the traits of a downtrend sell on highs and buys on lows .

Zoopla beats rightmove with London listings Zoopla ‘not down or out’ while OnTheMarket claims ‘brilliant’ opening dayWritten by: ROSALIND RENSHAW | JANUARY 27, 2015PrintOnTheMarket launched yesterday “not with a bang but a whimper”, claimed City analyst Jefferies.But OnTheMarket claimed a very different story, while Zoopla itself said there had been problems with OTM’s launch. Meanwhile, its shares gained strongly.Last night, an OTM spokesperson told Eye: “It’s been a brilliant opening day for Britain’s new major property portal.“The response from our member agents has been overwhelmingly positive and we are seeing record expressions of interest from agents who are now considering coming on board.“With our full launch marketing campaign set to begin at the weekend – combined with the extraordinary co-branding, promotional and social media support we are seeing from our members – we have an excellent platform to continue growing OnTheMarket.com. We are all looking forward to exciting times ahead.“Now is the time for any independent agent not already with us to get on board and be part of creating a market-leading but low-cost alternative to Rightmove and Zoopla.”But Jefferies, the analyst which advised Zoopla on its launch last summer but which earlier this month downgraded the portal from ‘buy’ to ‘hold’, denigrated the OTM launch.It said it “is more of a damp squib than a nuclear warhead”.It said that the self-policing of “one other portal” made the condition of membership look more like a guideline than a rule.Anthony Codling, of Jefferies, said in a note to investors: “In our view, the aim of OTM is to challenge the fees charged by Rightmove and Zoopla to agents rather than to increase consumer choice.“Zoopla offers the home buyer useful data such as how long a property has been listed and asking price history. OTM will not be showing this data.“We believe that data (along with listings) is a key driver of traffic, which in turn is a key driver of revenues. Some agents may well be supportive of OTM, but unless it catches the imagination of the home buyer, we believe that its impact will be limited.”Jefferies also said that London was key.Yesterday afternoon it said: “London is the main battleground but Zoopla is neither down nor out thus far.“Ahead of the launch of OTM, Zoopla appeared to be losing London and around 80% of OTM members were dropping Zoopla.“We have searched the listings of all three portals across all 32 London boroughs for two and more bed residential properties for sale and rent: Zoopla currently displays 73,989 listings, OTM 9,243 and Rightmove 51,860.”Jefferies reiterated its ‘hold’ advice on Zoopla shares, which yesterday gained almost 10% to 169p.

Re: Am out for now 152 was hit yesterday Seagull Its not luck ) its years of hard work ) I timed my sell really well here . Must admit . the way I hold no position at the moment and no emotional attachment as a result . You should in my view post your views with more depth i.e. , either a TA or fundamentals approach. I am always interested in figures , forecasts and facts . Posting "the outlook is positive' adds little to anyone . My guess is that only someone like Buffet or Ackman could afford such a statement , but they too add detail ) Just a humble view . Plus it would help me understand more than just the chart and some fundamental data points I have looked at . all the best

Re: Am still short and Hi Seagull, I am already well in the money and trade professionally so getting burnt either way is not really what I do , or else I would not do this job. That aside I was shorting from the 190s so my low 150s target was bang on ! See my earlier posts .Am going to close soon at 152 for a good start to the year of 38p profit but believe that with the extra competition Zoopla will struggle , I may be closing too soon As am off to the physio now for my back , I brought the stop loss down to 154 so I get a guaranteed 36p but my target will stay at 152 . Am 0.6p away at the moment . I suspect that if my chart is plotted well we could go to visit the 147/148s and may see a rebound from there , but if the bulls don't come out then its very bearish and the market is implying that they don't agree with the relevance of your stat re the record traffic . Am only focused on TA here and to me the catalyst of my short was the chart led my a clever Hedge fund which when it goes short something in size I tend to look at myself All the best PS for now the longs need some Aloe Vera not the shorts.. we have already banked a good start of the year )) 152.3 now to buy them back , i will check my phone to see my successful trade ) The last thing you want to do when trading is going against an obviously trending stock , i.e. if trending up go long and buy on dips and the reverse going down . The skill is to understand the dips and knowing when the trend is broken. In time it can be mastered to great effect and produce great earnings
