Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[DaddyJohn]

have chickened and closed my long position... seems like it might want to come back and test the low ... knowing my luck it will now push 100 pts higher .... lol

ha .. yes, they play with a few more $ than me

I trade for bus fare and cigarette money.

Look at BARC go 190.5 +2.4%

FTSE100 5404 = Unchanged Dow, so looks worse than it is.

lets hope BARC +2.3% is a lead for things to come.

SPY been toggling around unch, currently up.

maybe its stop hunting. most sustained rallies start with a brutal downswing day.

BARC now up 3.1% 192p

 

[DaddyJohn]

time to tighten stops on any long positions methinks

I suppose 5100 is out of the question now.

wonder if the ftse up move is just closing the opening gap

 

[DaddyJohn]

I suppose 5100 is out of the question now.

would be surprised.. but never say never eh? but take a look at ftse regression channel... ftse broke through (stop run) and has now recaptured the channel.. ususally bullish sign..

Is that Daily?
The alternative view is that the breakout has already occurred but either way, I'd expect a retest of the 5500 area at least soon...

BARC had a powerful move and RIO/BLT are positive . amazing in a blink of an eye

 

[mat belton]

The moves are scary

The moves are scary

last hour of Dow trading on Tuesday was very weak, usually leads to weakness next day. but lets wait and see

Ouch, made a rookie mistake of being away from my desk over lunch time with open positions and I come and see the FTSE is moving against me. 41-points from where I left it last. Very, very painful.

*sigh*, I'll hold the position until tonight and see where it is. I have a feeling that I might need to start bright and early tomorrow to make up for it.

Yes. I've been a dedicated Footsie trader until recently when I decided to take someone else's advice and try CAC. I've been trading CAC and Dax. Have left CAC and am just doing Dax at present. Have found it a smooth ride, so far.

My SB firm is ok except that, occasionally, the site goes down. I put an automatic 20 points stop on even though I have no intention of letting it go that far. It saves nasty surprises.

DAX tends to track FXI
