Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[zorbas]

congrats to all that were short.

I missed it, usually I try to enter after 18:30 when the market starts to show exhaustion.

Definitely the driver behind was the Italian elections outcome.

I know the fear, this is why I prefer to play it after 18:30, much safer some times.

however with days like this, opportunity knows the door earlier

Nice move on the Dow, only another 500 to go

Buongiorno tutti!
Hope you all had a good trading day yesterday.

Mornin' all

Quite surprisingly ftse opened flat with dow so matched the sell off. I was up early for an opportunity that never came

first rung on the ladder back up is 6275....if there's any bulls left that is

....if there's any bulls left that is..........

If (maybe it's when ) we re-visit the lows I'll be taking out a protective ftse hedge to insure my portfolio.

anyone think this was manipulation?

quite a performance from the dax yesterday.....zoom up to 7800 off load and zoom back down again for max pain....stick in some news on the way up then take it away on the way down

Hard to pick a trade on the indices so far today. Expected the fall to continue after yesterdays pop & drop, a candlestick signal that implies that the upwards move is exhausted.

I was very fortunate yesterday with the markets falling the way they did, so I closed 90% of my short positions at reasonable (staggered) prices on the FTSE/DAX/DOW. Kept the 10% open just in case

Have just now opened a medium sized short on FTSE at 6275, not expecting to hold it open for long either way.

 

[Dick Lexic]

they may prop it up for month end....s&p support 1490

 

[Talbs!]

Think you may be right keep it ticking over till thursday then when the cuts in the US kick in friday could get whacked

 

[samspade79]

I'm out of shorts now. I'm waiting to see if we pop a bit. Downside target still 1460.

That's a protest vote, mate. Everyone is fed up with all the main parties and are going to the rubbish, frankly, because there is nothing else. That is happening all over Europe. Either that, or abstentions.
