Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

I also scale in with a limit orders at the 50% and at the 80% retracement levels its really the only way to trade it, it's a strategy that actually works and requires little thought: find an impulse move wait for a retracement set your orders and thats it, occasionally I'll trade Flag breakouts or break and retest trades but thats all

The energy sector led the gains of the S & P500, reflecting rising oil prices, after Iraq and Algeria joined Saudi Arabia to support an extension of production cuts by OPEC. In addition, US oil inventories declined more than expected. Despite this, this rise in the price of crude was not enough to recover from the losses recorded last week. The US Department of Energy reported today that weekly oil inventories fell by 5.2 million barrels, compared to estimated 1.9 million barrels. Inventories of gasoline fell by 150,000 barrels, compared with an expected increase of 65,400 barrels.

Down 50 in 7 minutes. Thank you!

Apparently 'cosmic ordering' does work. It was either that or the goat I sacrificed.

Tuesday!

I'm expecting the dax to top out at 12760 and slide down for a couple of days.

Slipped a short in at 753, waiting now.

Up at 756 while I type.

In short at a fraction over 760.

Thats all folks.

Naah I dont think so!

ALWAYS buy the dip!

But the damn thing didn't get 'quite' low enough for me to get in
I wanted another 15 pips before I got in and it shot up without me. D'oh

Tends to be riskier the second time, but for now I have an order to buy at 12680 in case it goes down there again. Smaller size than the previous trade wold have been. We'll see.

Set my stop on here to 705 so money in the bank, letting it ride now.

If dax gets to 720 I will short again.

I will be a little annoyed if it doesnt get to 720 now.
