Background:
The opening figures of the FTSE are very difficult (more difficult than Dow and Nasdaq openings) to predict. You need to follow the general economic information, you need an intuition and you need some experience, but all this is not enough, there is always a great risk.
But may be just that is the attractiveness of this market.
There is also may be some inconvenience for the american users - FTSE opens at 3 A.M Eastern; midnight Pacific time, but for those who like to go to bed late, there isn't better time for Hubdub than the late night :).

I'm just trying not to get flooded with a bunch of new markets, but at the same time trying to allow for more variety.
As I'm beginning to understand it, GMT doesn't take into consideration such artificial adjustments such as daylight savings time zones.
Closing is at 4.30 PM BST, 1530 GMT, 11.30 AM ET. Actually, as I said before, closing figures are taken at 4.35 PM BST.
And we don't forget that data are 15 min delayed.
