Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Buy the Dip at these levels looks very dangerous because i always wait to fall the price at key support levels to buy.

I was asking if he has any special technique or system to follow.

For the last 3,4,5 years buy the dip has been the safest strategy even at all time highs.
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. And this market sure is irrational.
We havent hit S&P 2000 yet. Thats when it might be prudent to revise the BTD strategy, maybe.

Do you think we'll sell off at the close, or go up to finish the day and the week at the high of 9735?
I know where my money is.

You have been stop out from last couple of days trying to short. look at daily and weekly charts before buying the dip at this stage.
Generally speaking, if that was the case you all were millionaire since you are trading from last 10 years. I can even not figure out if you guys are doing it for a living or just for noodles.

So has everyone who shorted, thats why I stopped.
I cut my trading back from 30 to 50 trades per day to virtually nothing, waiting for this mess to sort it self out, and the only way to make money this week has been to buy the dips - at all time highs!
Dont fight it.

Were 30 minutes from close and were still going up!

 

[postman]

If you bought at ANY time this week, you are now in profit.

Right I'm long Daxy @945 with a stop @ 928 because 930 hasnt been breached all day so it couldnt possibly break now.

I've just taken +7 off this, as were so close to the weekend and the spread widens considerably.

I respect your efforts to post your entry setup and you have guts to post your lost trades as well 🙂
I have been trading forex on daily charts but i am new to scalping futures index.
The key part is the precise entry. I am here to learn from you senior guys. How do you enter long after a falling market?

Do you enter long when you see a 5MIN candle born?

I remember last week after buying the dip from a major key support area of daily chart you closed your position after the move finished just before NY close. You also rightly predict that price will remain bullish overnight and that was true as well.
Why did you close that trade ?

Just had a quick check in the trouser area, been married too long my b@lls of steel have rusted.

What a difference one week and some WD40 can make.

Have a great weekend everyone. :clap:

I dont hold overnight for a number of reasons, not least I was short one weekend and the Dow gaped open over 80 points up. 😱
The other reason is if you are holding a long position in the morning and you do your analysis, you will automatically look for reason why the market will go up. This will result in pain and misery.
These are the little snippets of information that make reading through endless posts worthwhile. There is some good stuff on this site if you can find it.
