Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Dick Lexic]

Dick one of those lines is VIX what is the other?

XIV said to be the vix mirror but it get confusing as you explore the time frames ...remember vix is always delayed

RDSA head and shoulders breakdown, BP losing 425 support, this does not bode well for FTSE, upside momentum is going to disappear also VOD took out 52 week lows. BATS has also broken 1 year trendline.

FTSE currently 5628
Dax has broken 7000

I sold a third of the Oil position for 150 points. Keeping the rest. Will add if it retraces.

Too focused with the Oil today, didn't have any time with the indices.

I don't know oiled , but certainly a good launch accompanied with a nice red wine

 

[zorbas]

Top no, at least didn't get stopped , as was getting used lately

Anyway, enough to start getting me going.

 

[jungerns]

got a bit of the final push ...will see if the s&p can break the 07 low at 62

might get the after hours shuffle

DOW - Red
FTSE - Blue
DAX - Black

DOW - Red
FTSE - Blue
DAX - Black

looks like a big gap...expecting ft/dax catch up?

If the DOW starts to move back up next week, should force the FTSE and DAX back up with it.
FTSE also under to ASX by 37 points to ASX close.

At the beginning of October FTSE was -400 down from where it would have been had it kept pace with DOW from the start of the year (ie: it would have been standing at 6220). Since then it has traded very strong against DOW with only a few days of relative weakness and by last night was only -15 down from where it would have been had it kept pace with DOW from the start of the year (ie: it would have been standing at 5690).

Today it was weak by -40 (ie: should be standing at 5646 had it kept pace with DOW) so although you might expect it to play catch up there's still a helluva lot of recent strength and I'm still favouring it will trade relatively weak.
