    Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

    Yep, limits too... understand H the W's point, I sort of figure that most, if not all, the platforms are rigged one way or another and it is noticeable that many stops are hit exactly.... I do not trade in large enough numbers or often enough to run and learn different set ups. A few points a...

    Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

    I live and learn... I had actually banked some, as I was aware the figures were due, but could not get the rest out as the platform kept rejecting my trade.. Will not leave it so tight time wise in future.

    Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

    Oh right... I like to enter a trade after I have seen 2 or more consecutive green or red candles on the 5 min charts... not every time, just those that are pronounced moves i.e with a spread between high and low of maybe 10 points or more... then I would nick 2,3,4 points even just the 1 if that...

    Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

    Nope.... I aim for 15 points a day, from either DAX or FTSE .. Anything over that is a bonus.. Whilst I am still learning I limit my wager to £20 point max, with the ave being £10. And in reality, I think calling it a system is a bit grandiose...I just try to join a trend and grab a couple of...
