Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

I should have done that from the beginning which I did(getting in and getting out fast when profitable) and did well from next week until this monday - I left positions open at the worst time before opening and losses got bigger - think this is what i get for not being very experienced and making stupid mistakes.

generally the longer your holding time frame the more profitable you will be.
