Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Dow dips down for a few moments then grinds up for hours on end, you might not like it but you cant argue with it.
Buy EVERY dip.
 
It isn't rocket science!

There is another way to play: the idea being that most look for bigger moves/swings, yes intraday there are many scalping opportunities and they are good too. But many try for the +100 moves, so what we are saying is that we want movement of some kind, so we focus on dow (for example), but the direction is not always sustainable on either side because intraday range of movement is increasing. Big players are not holding major longs anymore, this is shown by the gaps overnight. ie more movement, when is the last 6 months we would be waking up near flat to up nearly every day:sleep: They dont need to protect anymore, so its a (slightly) more level playing field for retail.

But direction will be harder to call if taking this upcoming movement into account (yes you can buy and hold, or buy a major dip longer term), but anything below this could be dangerous as this baby wants to buckaroo.

So if you strat suggests something may happen, but one keeps getting killed on direction, take a look at trading volatility instead;)

Always pays to have multiple forms of adaptability. No one has to put their eggs in one basket. No one has to be defined by one style.

Oil declined after the International Energy Agency cut its oil demand projections to 2017 and 2018. These projections slightly cool the positive sentiment that was being built around it but also serves as a justification for several investors to realize capital gains after the strong gains accumulated in recent weeks. In fact, from 9 October to 7 November, Brent appreciated 16%. The weakness of oil is also negatively affecting other industrial commodities, so the mining sector may also be under pressure.

Another session showing that the big players are not holding serious longs here (at the moment). They cant hold the highs as they dont NEED to, they WANT lower prices to start the cycle again, all leads to increased volatility, with BOTH directions in play.

Pippee, just because others cant be seen in the light, doesnt mean no one is trading, its more to do with the fact that they are trading in the dark. Never got round to replacing the bulbs:cheesy:
