Re: FSTE 100 shares

I won't fight a ftse up (down) trend unless a particular share is clearly trending down (up) when. like malaguti, I will take a short (long), but only half position in most cases.

Re: Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Well the sucker public can't lose since they don't have to pay until they sell - only share in any profit with the Treasury. It's put up as a way of giving "ownership" to the public and I suspect it...

Re: Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Anyone read about the Treasury's grand plan for RBS? Sell to public at a base price, but shares put in a nominee account and you don't have to pay for them until you sell. Profit divided between...

Re: Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Re: Gianniz's Journal

No, you'll be sold out at 740 on the bid when price reaches it. If your broker is quoting a 2 point spread (say) that will be when the mid-price (as your charts) is 741.
