Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Splitlink]

I've made money today but the platform started to get bugs and problems over the last hour. In the end, I phoned and the dealer cancelled the whole trade. Frankly, I think the market went down so much that there was a bit of fiddling going on.They don't, normally, give me problems so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

55 handle range today on S&P - so far!
1883 to 1828 futures.

A win is a win, i bet theres plenty without any shirts to wear tonight

Watching the Dow go down 50 then up 50 in the space of 10 minutes says this is gambling for scalpers.
If your in a swing trade good luck and hold on.

This is volatility on a whole new level. Worth using guarnteed stops for the spreads!

Probably worth not trading.

doh, stopped -30

Although those of a mad disposition may want to try and steal 80 points on the upside from 15860 right now.

This thing is moving +/- 100 points at the drop of a hat, you will never catch the whole move so need to be content with 80

Already on it... stop at breakeven, walking away... back in 30 seconds probably

Half way there already.

Later (after the close) I'll post the chart with that level on it.

It 'could possibly maybe' take us back to 16,100 but dont bet the wife on it.

470 points down, sickening for my retirement fund...6.9% down since the 9th

Though a 500 point drop on the DOW would make newspaper headlines tomorrow and frighten American Jo public to sell some pension fodder.

what's your golden number...16026 looks good to me or 16116, 16205 is also possible, i've seen down take back 200 points
