Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[hereward the wake]

nearly 2.265, your close enough

Bloomberg calling FTSE down 14, thats wrong it s down 43 or more

Spreadbettors have dow @ 13140 /2.265 = 5801 versus close of 5841

so this "proves" our ratio is correct

good work sd

ft dow ratio 2.267?

the ftse close yesterday appears fake, "painting the close" the 5841 close is = dow 13230 and the dow never went above 132215

they spiked the FTSE into the close, maybe putting people Long or some other trickery

there is a 24 pts discrepancy between ftse futures and ftse cash

Futures should be Cash minus 42

think the fut/cash spread was caused by ex divi, might as well take off the long/short

At least this has unwound the overbought conditions on the 4 hour chart, next leg up maybe.
