thank you !

Well, first off, where do i get the historical data for UK sectors ?

I guess you are saying i should invest some time in understanding technical analysis. Any suggestions on where I should start ? I have about 2 weeks !
I don't know where to get data for UK sectors, may be some of our UK members or other members who trade the FTSE can help you.
Technical analysis can't be learned and be effective in 2 weeks, in my opinion.

Another suggestion that might work for you is to concentrate on a handful of stocks that are strongly affected by various commodity prices. Use your background of pick commodities to give you an edge. For instance if you think oil is going higher, you buy oil companies. I don't know if this is against the rule.
