Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[f2calv]

I agree with you re the DAX's low this week , just saying they got it wrong , not the first time btw , during the greek crisis as well as i recall .

9874

To be fair I was inside the Frankfurt exchange a month ago and booted up the IG app and for a laugh was comparing their DAX with the live ticker up on the wall - it was always out by 1-2 points - which I can live with during normal trading days but yeah in such volatile times it must be out by tens of points

It happens during the night hence there is no DAX futures overnight unlike the ES .

ive seen the markets like this before on a few occasions-very dangerous for bottom fishers

hear, amazing to see a market crash before your eyes after waiting/expecting it for so long... I bet there are traders short the DAX from 12,000's still lol

IG's web platform is grinding along, tried my spreadbet account and just gave up - maybe their CFD platform is higher priority?
