Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[postman]

Yep - and this morning I posted BTFD.
So I will keep a close eye on this to look for a place to exit my Dow short and maybe buy back in.

This 270 area provided support on the Dow last night, but if it doesnt hold it looks like a trip back down to 125.

I'm not even going to mess about. I'm out for +75 and nothing more for the rest of the day.

No - thats just for this thread.
The comp is a one shot deal, one trade per week.

66 yesterday and 75 today, as long as you keep your losses small you can afford to get it wrong a few times and still have a nice holiday in the sun.

Given we've just had a 50 point re trace in 15 minutes I think I made the right decision.

good morning everyone

Dow buy/sell 197/139

Morning,
I do think the Dax is going down today - but there's no way I'm going to short it. I think the best to hope for is tight trading range. Everyone's waiting for some news.

I did wonder why they do not provide a track record of their calls.

I'm short Dow 220. It will easily fade 50 points on the open.

OK - The market told me I was wrong very quickly.
Mind you they might just have been hunting my stop given the size of the position I opened.

If it comes straight back down then I'll know.
