Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[postman]

I suddenly have a strange craving for custard.

Given we are down 50 on the Dax - I've opened a sneaky long.

Keeping my short position, I tried to scalp on the long side twice around 8:30 and got stopped out , fortunately with a very small loss.

mornin' all

ftse opened +20 strong vs dow and traded flat 'til 9:00am when the bustech move (no reversal this time) set it trading weak

morning barjon and zorbas

 

[postman]

i got 8605 as 50pt level. cash session level

I had dax cash close at86 64 giving 8614 as 50 point range.
Closed my sneaky long for +7.

Nice to see more life on the forum. 👍
Guess the downward direction must bring the bears out. 😉

Excellent....

who's da bull

 

[SuddenDeath]

dax traders seem to be front running the 50pt range thingy, dax reverses when range is 47pts

wonder if it carried ftse with it.

yes maybe German consumer sentiment? seemed good so machines take over!

 

[postman]

Dax gap closed 😱
Wild ride today.
Soon be near my shorting levels. :whistling

 

[barjon]

coo, that period of relative weakness didn't last long and ftse trading real strong - it's now around +35 strong for the day and I feel a short/long coming on when it clams down a bit.

 

[Dick Lexic]

it looks very bullish to me if it trades over 580


don't forget the quarter end is friday

 

[SuddenDeath]

notice how they broke the obvious 545 before sending it higher

 

[postman]

My Dow position from yesterday is in the money which I've now closed 😱

The Dax is at 8680 - my shorting level from this morning so I'm now short. 8678

 

[Dick Lexic]

i'm not going to pi** about today ...any weakness around 580 i'll take profits ...latest move backs up the boot filling theory for now anyway...hold 580for dare i say ftse 7000🙂
