Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Long_Short_Mark]

Hi dentist007
I'm interested in your index trading posts.
I've tried various methods trading the FTSE libe index including Hedjing the index using 2 accounts but this was not reliaible.

I'm also looking at trading the S&P using order flow and DOM methods using the jigsaw software. Any comments about that ?

Are you making consistent profits trading indices, and can you tell me more about the the charting package you are using ?

Thanks

Hi Mark
i used to be a rocket scientist.The method i use is that complex.....lol
everything i use is in the book
definitive guide to point and figure by Duplessis...that is all you need
available at amazon
software is bullseye..mt4 is the main workhorse
p/f is basically breakouts....tick data is the trigger for me
i have a small brain ...so cannot understand complex charts that get posted
basically...its trend and breakouts
pips..500 /day is my target..if i manage to get up early enough

Thanks
Ive looked at a survey using the point and figure method.

It gave a return of 62% in about 4 months. Is this the type of succes rate you are acheiving ?

I think Dow holds here for 15 minutes then falls.
I'm short at 16,662 !

Locked in some profit here but I think it goes back to 16,600.

hi everyone, Tim Haefke talks sp500 futures

I think Dow holds here for 15 minutes then falls.
I'm short at 16,662 !

Its looking like a plain and simple bear squeeze.
Up stop, up stop, up .... until we dont.

Taken +17 points off the table.

Out of interest what providers and platforms do you guys use? Looking at opening a second account to do my intraday trading, keeping CityIndex for my week length and month length positions.

Might use Alpari to trade FTSE/DAX/S&P

Morning All,

anyone have a justifiable trading bias for the DAX today, still think 9100 may be tested as it didnt trade on the way up, but im feeling bullish...

short new lows i guess or buy a break of 80+

What do you Make of the P&F Dentist, or how about the Hull MA Hereward? which way are you guys playing today?

The sb's won't give you a price on the Dow below yesterdays close!
Its going straight up at the open.
Squeeze those shorts till they pop... then drop.

WOW spike in the DAX

I was long too

but with a limit exit of 5 pips at 77, had gotten bored with the trade and wanted it off

Daily points you acheive

Hi again
In terms of points then , on the DAX, DJI and FTSE, are you taling about
for example 1 pip = approx 0.67 points on the FTSE, so a daily gain of 500 * 0.67 = 335 ?

Sorry for my ignorance

pips in my language
ftse 1pip=1 pt
dax..same
spx 1pip =one tenth of a point
dow.1 pip=point
fx..gbpusd /for example..1 pip=1pip
you can trade 10p a pip to 100 pounds a pip..even more if you have the guts

 

[inzimam]

wow, it hit my extended target pretty quickly, but i had a lower limit thinking there would be resistance at 9214

 

[Dentalfloss]

we were all bullish at the open from the charts posted
pips banked
dont know why we had a spike....who cares
