Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Low volume and fear of war, a volatile mix.
Russia moves warplanes into 'attack position'.

Though if you took a big profit on that one then go away for the day. ;)

overnight pips taken on the run down to 9513 area as we said.then the bounce taken
pips banked
The intra day system I am using based on the last day's close at 9:59 British Summer Time (In effect us session close time with the exception of Fridays when the US session closes an hour earlier)is a simple one with the advantage of providing an exact entry points and initial SL.( usually somewhere between 15 -30 pips)
Short entry was 9535 exit set up for 80 pips initially, but the market has closed that trade before I could have protected the trade with a trailing stop.
This being Bank Holiday Monday I have not expected a great reaction but dax had fulfilled its Average Daily Range and made 149 pips (out of 124 for the last tr) already and Dow made only 64 (out of 121).
It could well be the Ukrainian factor and/or the Sentix Investor Confidence release data at 9:30.
This so far achievement makes me nervous to renter short at these levels, but after a pull-back short might be a possibility for today, but with a hard SL.
I expect the Low today which will also be a C of an ABC corrective I have posted earlier on..
The minimum for that C has been met in regards of PA and Time Fibs.
9341 would make that C to be 100 of A.
After today I shall start looking to the Long side, but not catching the bottom, only enter after a confirmation.
Now patiently wait for the reversal on DAX, once that is in play there will bw plenty pips made on the long side.
Piano, piano and enjoy the Bank Holiday Monday!

The Americans cant keep using the weather as a reason for their economy not to be improving, so war in Europe could be another excuse to trot out over the next 3 months. Then the summer lull, then hurricane season, ...
 
wow that was a drop and a half. Been watching DAX and the FTSE to see if they will rebound from it.

Where is best to see latest news events? Ive been using bloomberg at the minute
 
If I were looking for a long it would have to be on FTSE.
Shes down 70 points from close and has shown shes not interested in the Ukraine crisis.
Dax offers 120 point upside but with much higher risk IMO.

Sadly not only Americans but the rest what is known as the Western World.
The most certain way and sadly possibly the "only" easy way to avoid the total compromise of up to now politics,
These socialistic politics have a 100% bad record and include many well known people: including comrade Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin,Mao, Jose Manuel Barroso, Obama, and armies of other aspiring to be politicians, once again experimenting with implementing a system which has never failed to deliver disaster!

Great analysis, spot on (y)
 
Short Dow 450 Its not going up so its only going to go down. Given levels of ftse and dax its got at least 70 points in it.

Yes there might be one to one harmonic move on the DOW.
In terms of daily cycle all indices are moving with a sync to a degree.
70 pips on DOW is very possible today, but like dax I will be looking for longs on the DOW from tomorrow.

It is interesting how the last few candles influence our bias.
When it was time to short, some were quite committed to go long while others kept it safe and were flat. I am working on it, so that I am less influenced by the last several candles lets say on H4 or Daily and apply a strat based on zones, statistics and otherwise indicated levels, be it EW, Fibs or Delta timing. and harmonics.
Happy trading to all,

PS
Waiting for dc2000 to confirm the rotation to the long side , it will be great to hear from him.:)
