Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[postman]

Dax still below its intra day high !
They're not buying the Dow rally.

 

[postman]

Timber.

 

[postman]

With the Dow going up and down 500 points every 3 days I'm not closing this position.

 

[f2calv]

A quick short on the Dow at 16,433.

Still holding?
Nikkei up 7%+, indices are going bananas... for what?

I'm ready to short DAX (small positions), then buy the dip.

 

[itspossible]

is it not safer just to buy the dip ^^^^^^^

 

[f2calv]

Safe, probably not. But if I'm convinced there will be a dip to buy, then I might as well turn a profit whilst the price is on it's way down there no?

 

[postman]

Dow is only up 260 points from my short entry. :whistling
I took a beating on that one.

Bouncing off its 20 day MA at the moment, then on its way down. I am hesitant to short for some reason. I think thats the point of these face rippers.

 

[postman]

S&P up 80 handles from Fridays low. Volatility has gone insane.

 

[f2calv]

Have got some small limit buy orders queued up sub 10,400, not happy to "play" at the current levels after 3 or 4 weeks of "OMG BEAR MARKET HERE WE COME!!!!".
@postman any idea about if volume has actually increased now we're a little into September? Then I'd have more faith in going long if it was increased volume that has driven these up-moves.

Back in play

3rd leg on most indices if we get the break :idea:

Mon Dieu a classic bearish Gartley.

 

[postman]

Dax 7 am 10,420.
Dax 8 am 10,520.
Dax 9.50am 10,420.

Dax 11am who knows.

Glad everyone is clear on direction.

I'd like to put you down....

 

[Dick Lexic]

I'd like to put you down....

I thought you ran off with the cleaner?

 

[hereward the wake]

I thought you ran off with the cleaner?

She ran off with a chemist. A chemist? I would have understood if she had taken a bullfighter, but a chemist?

 

[postman]

Put me down for bullish

Up 20 points.

 

[postman]

She ran off with a chemist. A chemist? I would have understood if she had taken a bullfighter, but a chemist?

She was obviously turned on by the smell of noxious chemicals. Thats why she was a cleaner. It all makes sense really.

 

[Dick Lexic]

Yeah and free methadone, valium
