Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[postman]

i am wrong about 50% of the time, same as flipping a coin

With good risk reward thats a winning strategy.

I suddenly find myself short dax 8594 not believing this move up

Had to close this at 8590. Madness to trade the last 18 minutes on a day like today.

Of course they will.

Paddy Power spokesman Rory Scott told ABCNews.com that the agency believes the shutdown will be over within seven days. Those odds were 11-to-10.
If the shutdown goes on for eight to 14 days, the odds are a little under two-to-one. 22 to 28 days will pay around 10-1 odds.
A shutdown lasting into December pays 20-1 odds.


You can get 3-1 on a default this year as well....

20-1 is worth selling, 5% in less than 3 months

could it last that long?

Last time the Dow was down at these levels it spent 3 weeks in a 300 point range.

I'm hoping they will sort out the spending bill before then.

I look at the hourly chart of the dax and its going down consistently since 19th Sep.
Yet every time I go short it always appears to be going up.
I finally managed to chart this behavior.

Thats a good point - if the Fed dont have access to jobs data due to the shutdown then they cant justify tapering. So no taper - markets go up right ?
