Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Talbs!]

I do not usually trade EURUSD but with pivots it gave a buy signal once it traded at 1.3085

My buy signal was 1.3132 so i had to try and short this with a very tight stop ! All about keeping yur losses small and running the profits !

nice chart, what is the wavey bollinger type line on your chart?

For the 5 min chart I use 8 period boly band, and a 5, 10 and 20 period EMA. The pink simple indicator at the bottom shows the distance the price is away from the 5 period EMA. Really useful for spotting an over extended candle.

Think weve seen todays highs now, US stocks getting some decent selling coming in

Look at that euro go ! Thankfully I've closed my dax short at 4.30 close ! Time to short some Dow here I think !

Dow 13455, has taken all stops out

 

[zorbas]

Shorted a pinch at 455

if s&p 1465 breaks i think it will trigger more upside for the indices..1460 downside (cash)

looks like we got the break out with s&p if it holds but ftse seems a bit reluctant

 

[zorbas]

Shorted a little more at 13465
Going to sleep, hope I'll not get stopped out till morning

As I said earlier I still think it is a little early. Only when we get close to Jan 24 with the AAPL earnings and possibly some ugly discussions on the debt ceiling, reality will prevail. Till then a cautious stategy is needed.

I'll probably take out the stops and hedge with the S&P if it advances more.

I'm with you sold some Dow at 13435 and some
Now at 13480 more money to
Be made getting short dax tomorrow around the 70 level ! US stocks
Feeling bullish though unfortunately

 

[Talbs!]

morning...seems 13480 was good spot to short

Morning !

It is for now, Us stocks still seem to have no interest going down though, thought Dax would open alot higher than it did so im not shorting that yet

 

[Dick Lexic]

we have a new high s&p poked it's nose just over sept 12 high ….i think this index now has 1471/68/65 to test if more upside is to follow... still think 1460 would trigger the longer downside

 

[Talbs!]

Yes i agree, thing is they are going to try and push some stops above that 1474 level before coming back off, who knows maybe some profit taking as its friday ! If not, a few lunch time pints will obviously make my trading better and everything will seem clear ! innocent:
