Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

ig are offering 7:1 that the dax will close up today.
Thats 18 points down move for 87 point profit.
They aint that dumb, Daxy's going up into the close so I guess Dow is going for 17,000 today.
 
what a crock of turd today has been so far. US indices on fire but Euro indices so lethargic. 1st trade of the day I lost -5 ticks on the Bund, I then fat fingered 2 order entries moving stops and targets on the bund and lost -1 tick twice, so I am 7 ticks in the hole rofl.

I bet others are finding it tough today unless they are long US indices. Where is DJ? bet he has cleaned up as usual.

I am definitely not going to chase trades now as I know that's when a small losing day can become a whole lot worse. Might take something else on oil later on but we will see.

Still plenty green for the week so that's what matters.

It had to be a big up day for Dax and Dow as Oscar had them both pegged for downside. :whistling
 
Today FTSE a good trading opportunity and I’ve made my Short entry:
Financial Instrument: UK100

STOP 6780.0 Stop/Entry distance 12.0
SHORT 6768.0
TP1 6741.0 TP1/Entry distance 27.0 TP1 RR 2.3
TP2 6716.0 TP2/Entry distance 52.0 TP2 RR 4.3

RR -> Reward / Risk
Since TP1 was reached I've moved TP2 Stop to Break Evan
 

hahahah. absolute ledge as always.:) something tells me you have worked out why price moves ;)

I managed to find a decent trade in oil, not happy with my performance today though, the last trade on oil I hesitated to take profit where I knew it would react on the basis that it should only be a gentle reaction and I could get more. That hesitation cost me 5 ticks as I only banked +12. hesitation costs money.

Scores for today

-5 bund ticks
-1 bund ticks - fat finger
-1 bund ticks - fat finger (as if once was'nt enough rofl)
+12 oil future ticks

so net +5 ticks (but the bund ticks are slightly larger than oil)

Hi PSA, nice work..what about posting some sort of comment as to why you entered and how you chose entry/exit? As postman knows, I am a fan of charts if you have one lying around..
thanks
