Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[hereward the wake]

After yesterday i would say my ability on the DAX is about as good as that of the The three blind mice.......

Counter trend is always tricky better to go with the big dogs

I like counter trend, it's the only thing i'm good at, well on the FTSE anyway.....knife catcher....

FTSE had the strangest open in about 10mins from 8am open the ftse goes up about 40pts, this is not logical, what did the market know at 8.01 that it did not know 2 mins earlier?

futures had no idea that ftse should be 50pts above where it was pre-market?
