Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Dick Lexic]

if we get over 139 buzz lightyear could be on this one 🙂

eurjpy didn't perform today ...must be lightyears day off ...crit area 138.89 not bad for a small risk trade now ...still think 139 could turn the trend ..

Edit: If I'm confusing people, I've been asked to tone it down in my posts 🙂

Do you think the Dow will follow the S&P up on its terminal journey?

Or were you referring to charting in general.

3 hours of Chop.
I bet you dont get that kind of analysis from an Eliot wave chart.

stick to elliot waffle it's got a better hit rate🙂

ummm..why does GFT markets show me on daily chart that the low for the candle on the 19th was 9616.3 when the cash low was 9534?? 😡

I doubt it... because, as you say, you'd see big wins, but even bigger losses on the statements. So what we'd see is not a "trading God" but an inveterate gambler 🙂

Only if he showed you his 'open trades'! 🙂
Lots of people only show their closed trades in their statements.

What I meant was, he would often string together, say, 20 winning days in a row averaging 20k per day or so which would likely impress the uninformed.
His losing trades often remained an 'unrealised loss' as he played with the position and waited for it to 'come good'.

I'd compare him to a rich Spanish89, thinking about it! lol
If you watch Spanish's calls he has a very high hit rate because he doesn't really use stops. When he gets into a bad trade, he waits for it to come good, or at least for the loss to be a lot smaller than it was.

Difference is that Spanish live in a fantasy and probably doesn't even trade (certainly not at the stakes he claims), whereas this person was very much real and had more money than sense.

He used to always try to give me money if he made money on one of my trade calls! (which I always declined)
I couldn't accept it, as I certainly wouldn't expect to receive a bill for a trade call of mine that lost him money!

I'm not watching Dow closely, but to my mind all US equity indexes look bid. I'm not selling them.

Well the day has a 'y' in it so they would all look bid. 😆

Didn't know he deletes bad trades, but it's not a huge surprise (coming from someone who is still pretending to be a girl and an ex JPMorgan trader who is now teaching hedgefunds how to make money trading!)
lol

I think weve found the days close on Dow, around the 550 / 560 level.
Its just chop from here.

4 hours.
I've read war and peace, the complete works of Shakespeare, and have watched so much porn I'm legally blind now, and still the Dow hasnt moved.

Interested in this. I have heard of some people that only use the order book but never seen it in practice. I may or may not be wrong but I heard that Algo's made it harder to rely on solely.

Dow is down 5 points buy it now it will look cheap tomorrow.

Long FDax 9724

No. I'm waiting for the S&P to stop falling first.

Its possible (but unlikely) we touch 16520 as a low before going higher. 4am would be a good entry time I think.
