Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

After making a pigs ear of this mornings trading I thought I should keep busy doing other things, though cleaning my desk never entered my thoughts.
These markets are in a bit of a mess.

markets are very tricky ,

might be the clock change

dow sell trigger was 328, dow is now 278 and falling.

hard to sell 328 , very whippy

ftse 6660 weekly sell .

I was picking up on your comment that HSBC was smashed down, when it's not really as most of it is the divi drop.

But if you're aware of that it doesn't matter.
