Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Jessi_trader]

Compare FTSE with ASX which is Mining influenced index. You will see whats happening there.

Whole November falling (Actually consolidating) whilst Japan ? HK was rallying.....

Don't compare with DOW and DAX (Specially in the current condition)

That Dow.
It went UP Thursday, it went UP Friday, it went UP Monday - I wonder what it will do today ...

Can we make my on FTSE Down Vs Dow UP notes an article and post on this website?

This may be helpful to the people wondering why FTSE declining and Dow going UP?

The FTSE is going down because we dont have an FOMC pumping billions into the economy and if Amerika didnt they be going down as well.

I don't think that's the whole answer, Jessi, although it obviously has an influence. Despite their very different constituents ftse and dow have always moved in reasonable harmony with ftse having relative periods of weakness and strength vs dow.

What's unusual about the last four weeks is ftse's consistent weakness - not only day to day, but intraday, too, where bursts of strength have been thin on the ground and pretty feeble and short-live to boot.

[SuddenDeath]

dow/sp500 both did not make lower lows on daily

 

[postman]

I'm short Dow 16101.

I broke the golden rule. Short FTSE, Long Dow.

Well sir, FTSE does not move because of DOW or S&P. It has its own underlying assets. You got to understand dynamics. Hopefully this chart will help clarify things:

Dow

...

20 - 30 point move.

Ftse and Dax say UP.

I think the DOW could push to finish on the high of the day here. Very bullish for tomorrow. I think with focus off America with the thanksgiving holiday, the rest of the week could be the FTSE's time to shine. Let's hope for a nice GDP figure in the morning to start the UK Santa rally! Ho oh ho....

Think of it this way.
Its easy money.
Buy it and forget it.

it is no longer a challenge. only worry is it sometimes does not hit pivot target.

todays pivot target was 16,136

dow range with 15mins left is 49pts, FTSE did 60pts

wonder if people have taken the whole week off, thanks giving. ?
