Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

BP has been very weak, it is a good idea to keep an eye out for when the Louisiana court gives its verdict, I am guessing BP will get a good result from the judge.

just compared BP vs RDSA they are in lock step, think lawsuit may not be reason for weak BP. back to the drawing board

6426 - thats 2 points from my entry to go long this morning.
Got to be a good place to go short now.

Also that was a 51 point reversal on the dax - a good shorting opportunity IMO. (I missed it).

dax 71 (high) minus 21(low) = ....... the mandatory 50

lol.

I was using Spread betting (read made up) numbers 51. Then I looked at BigCharts.
High: 8,672.26 Low: 8,623.21 which is 49.

Where can you get 'good' numbers from?

1682 sp500dec. bullish above bearish below.

Dow buy/sell 219/164

shame I could not get to sell "164" during cash session fell 80pts from there early this morning

 

[postman]

Got to be worth a small long on the dow after testing Mondays low of around 15090.

Mind you I had my fingers burnt entering a short on the FTSE too early this morning.

"sell weakness, buy strength" is the winning strategy

 

[postman]

Well I'm taking my 1 ftse loss and 2 ftse wins and going out to play. The Dow is behaving badly and I dont want to get caught up in it.
I will look in again later. Have fun.

they got trailing stops they should create trailing buy orders

 

[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.

15,294 was "weakness" to be sold

has dropped 211pts

looks like the dow is testing 15100 ...once again



fat ladies on the sp back in play also
