Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[paszkman]

Actually, no they don't. Depends on your broker, which instrument exactly and at which time if provides the data feed to you, but in reality, DAX (Frankfurt) stock exchange opens 1 hour sooner.

So you play FDAX gap as opposed to DAX CASH gap, right?

 

[Sonicscooter]

Yes... abstract from your link:

The Eurex, a European electronic futures and options exchange based in Zurich, Switzerland with a subsidiary in Frankfurt, Germany, offers options (ODAX) and Futures (FDAX) on the DAX from 08:00 to 22:00 CET.


Like I said... depends WHICH DAX, WHICH data feed, broker preference, etc. My broker heavily depends on Eurex and what I stated works for me. No pressure to follow...

Mental markets ….gold pushed back down testing 1292 again ...I still think this is the main area for gold at the mo

ftse/dax are hitting major cycle levels now this should give some downside ….dax has a cap at 9760 imo cash

if all the h&s patterns play out on the US markets then we really are going to the moon !

That was unlucky, I remembered you placed that trade last night and I was searching for it on the thread. The Dax Futures opened at 7am with that in profit then moved up 20 points in 20 seonds.

I don't trade the Dax but it is a market that interests me. Looks like a nice range is forming here between 9750 - 9790, anyone scalping this?
