Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[hereward the wake]

I only speak Dax .. one hour range top 9232 / bottom 9199

 

[hereward the wake]

Totally agree with you there

above 30 should be good for a nice bounce, clearing 40 even better,

it never seems to do what its supposed to though!

watch out for the short under the bottom range as well, could do anything today imo

shorted @ 9199, dow and s&p popped their head below support then retraced, typical. still in at the moment though.

Im not playing the shorts this morning, unless real heavy selling returns.

Got me bull suit on, but waiting, think that some kind of bounce today is inevitable. probably when I least expect it

I wait for the retrace.. so I had a mark of 50% on the preceding candle at 04 and shorted there.. hope you're still in!

out for + 27. clawed some back at least.

I think you make your own luck in this game.

I have difficulty switching my view intra day so have a plan, pick a direction and try and stick with it, Usually it swings both ways....

I can see why you would buy it there but I'd be careful buying until it has shown some signs of strength

I try real hard not to 'think' about where it's going or what it might do. I have missed so many opportunities waiting for it to 'turn' when I could have been on the bandwagon so I just draw the s&r and trade them.

Agreed.. price action and other factors to determine a entry. ill try not to be over hasty.

Same here, quick scalp here and there and you often catch a decent move.

long @ 9150.

With you mike at 55, i waited for a closed green 5 min candle to break

 

[hereward the wake]

short at 75 unless it breaks

if we bounce, where do you think we might get to?
