Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[pingpong1965]

dont mind at all

right now watching paint dry would be more exciting

its just pent up aggression really

We just seem to be watching a motorised Yo-Yo, but never remember to do a trick. The idea of an early pub call does sound very inviting. :cheesy:

Looks like BOJ desperation has screwed the price structure on yen crosses and indices. Oils holding on to gains for now.
Oh well, trade what you see !

well I hope 1 or 2 lurkers did not get a lesson on following somebody else trades

Nothing wrong with following other traders "if" they know what they are talking about.
The problem is, most don't know how to discern that.

Now could be the time to short Dow at 16250. (knowing that nobody will follow my trade )

BoJ surprises with negative interest rate move.
2 comments:

a) Fundamentals can seriously 'mess' up a good technical plan.
b) We've tried lower interest rates for 15 years and it hasnt worked so were going to lower them even more.

ftse to 6300 imho and will catch a lot of traders with their pants down

Asian markets closed with sharp gains, due to the somewhat surprising decision by the Bank of Japan. Challenging economists’ forecasts, which point to an extension of the asset purchase program, the Bank of Japan decided to reduce the interest rate on deposits which the Nipponese banks have with this institution to -0.10%. This measure is not innovative but takes the surprise character in that Governor Haruhiko Kuroda recently to have shown skeptical to the adoption of negative interest rates.

and for the Top Gun reference
The FTSE has produced a typical three day pattern with today a short sell with a typical early double entry or "M" price pattern if you look at 5min bars from 7:30 it should jump at ya

still not jumping at me

Good profit.
If your watching crude, you'll notice its bouncing off $32, when it breaks everything drops like a stone.

I think the bank of England are going to send a signal this week that interest rates will soon start to rise. Maybe 3 votes to increase.

The market is no longer filled with Bulls and Bears, just Sheep following crude up and down.
