Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Excuse my very basic question,I only brand new to spreadbetting. If I want trade live during the day what time element should I set on my charts if I want to look at the moving average crossing trendline as In, the best time to go long or short using M A as trend indicator if that is a good thing, or can anybody advise me as to what best trend indicators are in setting charts. I would be happy to go with trend for a day using stop losses OR INDEED CHANGE MY POSITION EITHER WAY I Excuse my basic knowledge of trading ,I hope my question makes sense.
I have been told that trading indices is very risky ,any advice on minimising my risk.
Looking at the upside today alone in ftsi,dax,cac,dow even with small bets it would be a good days return.
Please bear with me ,as I say I only brand new

US10yr rising sharply in yield, money leaving safety. weaker bonds means huge inflows into stocks may lead to "multiple expansion" (increase in pe ratio)
