Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

just shorted dax at 9568, then realized the spread has widened from 1 to 6 pips :(

.
...

There was a documentry on HFT recently where one of the propellor heads that writes algos traded into the close and left himself open overnight so dont feel to bad about it, you must be really clever! ;)

;)


At 39.06 you hear the immortal words "Oh hey the markets closed"....

Your future is in their hands.

In your top ten list of trading rules have "Wear a watch" as number 1.
Or you can get one of those radio time clocks that set themselves for 7.99 at Maplin.

My sb market is open again now, Unfortunately, the chart candles haven't started to move yet. :confused:

Mike you still got an open position.

I'm not doing anything, been the pub and my pc should have a breathalyser fitted to it, i'll be up at 2am trading the NIKKI.
 
Yes, still short on the dax, dont know where the price feed is coming from, but in profit 1 pip atm.

Im getting mixed up with the 24 hr forex market, as postman rightly pointed out :LOL:

Not sure why my chart freezes at 21.00. you can clearly see price movement on the right hand side, but no candle movement. Anyway, ive set a hard stop and watching parking wars. :LOL:
 
"parking wars", is that the nights entertainment in your village, we count sheep in ours.........:p

Country lads taking on the world............:LOL:

It just makes me feel a bit sorry for our southern colleagues struggling to
park their cars when there's ample space up here :LOL:

Not sure where today is going, no too far looking at the start.
