Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[postman]

Wait for the screams ...

I've just seen a price spike on the spread betters Dax 8596 up to 8670 (over 70 points) and straight back down again - one tick up one tick down.
I wont laugh in case someone lost money.

This strange tick has disappeared from my history. The SB's have removed it. I wonder if people stopped out will be getting refunds.... :whistling
Oh look theres a flying pig.

The JP Morgan apologists of CNBC

Alex Pareene: I think that any time you’re looking at the greatest fine in the history of Wall Street regulation, it’s really worth asking should this guy stay in his job. In any other industry — I can’t think of another industry. If you managed a restaurant, and it got the biggest health department fine in the history of restaurants, no one would say “Yeah, but the restaurant’s making a lot of money. There’s only a little bit of poison in the food.”

@oflynnexpress

Oddschecker has MU at 7-1 with Corals for Prem. Yet I was offered only 6-1 in Corals shop just now. Didn't get my £20

when dow broke 15,294 it generated a longer term sell signal

 

[Dick Lexic]

yes lets see how it goes about 15100

 

[postman]

Strangely, I have my first downward support line at 15126. That looks like a good FIRST target.

The next line in the sand is 15067.

 

[Dick Lexic]

i've got them all sitting pretty much on s/r

 

[SuddenDeath]

yep.

the dow should have generated a longer term sell signal but it has gone above 15,294 in overnight trading, wonder if it can break 15,294 during cash session.

posted that on thursday 26th sept 12:48pm

 

[Dick Lexic]

when will we know if it's shutdown or not.... are they having coffee first ?

beware the v sign
