Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[SuddenDeath]

It seemed to me everyone was expecting an up day today and when everyone expects an up day the market usually punishes them by giving them a down day.

yes. todays daily candle gonna be weird

 

[postman]

I'm thinking a drop to 250 before the close and then settle -1 on the day.

Plus I see a tall dark stranger, just cross my palm with silver and I will tell more.

Be warned I'm not trading any of that tripe I just posted.

Only 55 points out on my guess at the closing level. Not bad. :whistling

well i'm a ftse man for sure
but lately it's been f'n dour
and if 69 were to come tonight
i'd be ranting and raving with sheer delight
but if it does not and if it gets stuck
i can think of a word that will rhyme with your truck!

That ftse climbed to sixty six and then put on two more,
until it heard a muffled shriek a’coming from afar.
T'was Lexic (Dick) with finger poised he counted off his chicks.
Damn and blast it won’t get there so damn its knavish tricks.

Not yet, not yet quoth ftse, please kindly wait awhile
‘cos I’ll re-open soon, you know, and then you’ll make a pile.
There! Will two and seventy suffice and let you go to bed,
so no more cussin’ me or I’ll squeeze you good and dead.


Have fun guys, I'm off birdwatching for a few days. Take care y'all.

Is barjon really Pam Ayres?

Have fun bird watching, is that the one with feathers.

Move up in the after hours, ASX just find a good spot to get long.

Confusing times indeed
but traders must take heed
to the wise and wonderful posts
on this thread that you will read

twas not so long ago
I came here for a look
and one or two posts later
I was on the bloody hook

good times bad times came and went
and as the days went on they were days well spent
some great talking people have been to post
it's funny how the cycle comes and goes

I guess it's always gonna be this way
on a forum that is open to all
but a mere 5 years ago my friend ….i had absolutely nothing at all!

Get posting lurkers ..it's a short life

bird watching ?....69 is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha

 

[Dick Lexic]

off t bed now but before i go maybe i'll put my long johns on

 

[Dick Lexic]

nice run up on gbpusd

 

[bustech]

how do u deal with the spread on ASX..

Still carrying a long from 24 hours ago.

The spread is 3 to 6 in after hours.

Then 2, 10 mins before the open, then 1 during the cash session and 2 for the 30 mins after the close.

Market moves should be tight today, so might be better with DMA.

Current 5,314, hard to see it trading below 5283/6

Should be able to get to 5,350 with overseas support(SP & FTSE)

Must be a correction coming in October.:whistling

[Dick Lexic]

is that you in that video bus?

 

[bustech]

bustech - whats the take on AUD tonight....ASX and index positive should help....though I feel AUD is good for medium term short...

0.932 should see good support.

Not been following that close.

Rate call next week, may take it higher with no cut, 0.94 looks current hold back.

Go to bed Dick, otherwise I will set my partner on you, Spot the Cat.
