Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[barjon]

aye, the water's only lapping round my ankles now but I'm off to golf so leave it and wait to see how US session transpires.

Staggered ashore sometime between 2pm-3pm only to swim back out. Had another go for the beach immediately after 4:30 close and now got sand under its feet. Will probably kill it one way or another this evening and it looks like having been a long wait for precious little.

I'm trailing my stops - I averaged in 3 positions at 33.33333333333333333333333 roughly.

Sold a second at 547

Sold 3rd at 50 - couldnt risk the bounce.
Ave in 633
Ave out 554
profit 79 * 3 contracts.

Sneaking a small long in here - as the actress said to the bishop.

No ones buying - its selling all the way.
Closed that for an 11 point loss. Time to call it a day.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Avoid bum trades - try an astrological approach

I made a mistake I thought GS,MKE,V had already been added to the Dow, I think they are added on Monday 23rd Sept. So bigger daily moves expected

The Dow 30 Is Being Injected With Steroids - Yet Again!

The 3 stocks being removed had a 2.2% influence ($45 as a % of $2,041) on the performance of the overall Dow 30 Index.
The addition of the 3 new stocks to the list of constituents will have a 17.86% ($434 as a % of $2,430) influence on the performance of the Dow or 8.1 times more so than the companies removed.
The replacement of Hewlett Packard, Bank of America and Alcoa as constituents in the Dow 30 with Goldman Sachs, Nike and Visa has put the index on steroids which more or less assures greater appreciation of the Dow than would otherwise have been possible.
Talk about "juicing" an index! Talk about blatant index manipulation! Talk about comparing apples and oranges! This is it in spades!

well, it's why there is such a bull bias in the indexes - they are constantly replacing the dogs

Morning All

Just on Postman's post last week about the DOW and the different price.


ASX200 - XJO
Underlying market hit a low of 5,227.4
IG got a low of 5,221.5
I think stops would have been in place at 5,223
Got fully filled with the SB at 5,226 which I could not have got in the underlying market.
Also the guy from IG the afternoon report had the ASX low at 5,227.
What is he watching.
Think the dealing desk must control the price lows and highs.

Japan closed and Hong Kong closed most the day, because of the weather.
China PMI good.

Morning all,
Thanks for looking out on the AIX bustech, I didn't notice other indicies.
Its possible there was a problem at IG but unlikely as it lasted all day. So, they kept the price 5 or 6 points, depending on index, below the actual market.
We can profit from this if they do it again.
The 2 prices must eventually meet again so you can arbitrage the difference, via the underlying market or another SB offering the real prices.

might get merkel madness today
