Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[postman]

I hate to trade FTSE, is like ..."investing" on a daily basis- not moving .

Great for traders with a 9-5.
Wake up, put your position on, go to work.
Lunchtime check your position and set up for the afternoon.
Finish your job, go home check your position.

No drama. (Read no excitement).

Wannabe day traders dream.

Not any more - stopped

It could be the low of the move (within few points), but I can't do anything as I reached the max allowed loss for today

 

[postman]

And this is why no one trades ftse. 7 points off its high and unlikely to move until 2pm.
Dax on the other hand is now 60 points off its high and will move another 40 (in either direction) before 2pm.

Gotta love that dax, Down 100 from the high.

Ftse down 9.

Even the dow has moved down 50 and its closed.

I was obviously short from the 10,026 level and think its time to quit for the morning +85.

FTSE is great for traders with a serious Tennis habit too.
Place your trade, off to the courts ....

Right now, no, I'm not really loving DAX although it's my Nr. 1 instrument... :whistling

Back to work.

It looks obvious to me from the action that FTSE has a few more stops to take out before it thinks about going down. So if your planning to short it I'd wait.
