FTSE Intraday volatility

[Visaria]

Is it me or has the FTSE intraday vol gone through the roof this week?

 

[Lord Flasheart]

OnCould that be a sibn of a major downturn I ask

 

[Visaria]

Would be my opinion too - having said that I don't trade off opinions, mine or others.

Can someone please confirm that intraday vol on the ftse has indeed increased significantly this week from last week?

 

[Qwento]

Volumes this week have been nothing special.

 

[Visaria]

By vol, I was referring to volatility, not volume.

domt think you can trade ft, only source for volume i would think are the ft futures. i have that on screen during m hours but dont seem to find it useful.

I use divergence with the SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index)
and the price (candles) although you can use RSi and ordinary stochastic as well. Try a smoothed stochastic as it allows you to see a divergence more easily. I also have a MACD set up given to me that works well.

Have a goosey at this link:

You'll find an excellent example of divergence there. It's all you need to successfully daytrade/scalp as divergence is a leading indicator as opposed to a lagging one. Watch for trend reversal signals in the candlesticks as well and you'll get over 75% correct signals.

Good luck.

Attached is a footy 2 min chart showing divergence between the price and the stochs (bottom indicator)

This happens 2 ~ 3 times a day usually on the footy. If the divergence happens on the 5 or 10 min chart it is usually a stronger move.

Another screen shot attached ~ 2 trades on the footy this morning using divergence.
