Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[↑↓TriXx↓↑]

I dunno man, that all sounds a bit like searching for a certainty in the haystack of uncertainty. Was an endless game of circles for me.
Gl with it.

I'm already long from 9110 this morning. Only closed out my family account position as the risk/growth plan is different to my own personal account risk tolerance.

All I'm saying with that last post is that a 'close' below 9090/96 is food for thought for longs. I'm happy to roll with the punches on this, am looking up to 9180/90 and perhaps higher.

If am right am right, if am wrong am wrong. Can only make or lose money if you have money riding on it. At the end of the day, its only one trade of many this year.

a break above 9140 is bullish

Have a look at the sentiment over the past 3 months, traders were trying to buy the dips (shown on increasing sentiment) while the DAX continued to drop.

Now look at the current sentiment, traders are trying to sell this rally while the DAX continues to rise.

On the first part of this charts, you can clearly see how much pain was provided to dip buyers, and how much pain is being provided to rally sellers/top pickers now.

I don't know when it will end, but as long as traders are selling and DAX is rising then I'm on the long side until I get it wrong.

Now have a peak at today's intraday sentiment and DAX movements...

If they start selling, then where is the obvious place where stop loss lovers will be positioned ?

One would think they would try to push the Dax down a little further to draw more shorts in before ripping higher.

May still happen...good support just below.

I get it, really i do. It wasnt anything to do with your play per say.
I was referring more to ZH and BB quotes re history. The idea that this or that level means something. Even the sentiment stuff, i used to be big into that.
I dunno man, I dropped it all a while ago. You could say that rightly or wrongly, Ive learned to embrace the uncertainty rather than fight or replace it. Been reduced to a lost little sharkdog, following its master, chowing down on and head f*****g short term wally.
All a bit shameful really

Well this isnt your normal Dow open.
Sitting tight for 8 minutes.

Just so were clear if you know, you know nothing about the markets, then the next logical step is, every trade you take is a gamble. :innocent:

Everyone is going into FOMC fully loaded.

Of course!
Do you believe youre not?

Me "Do one!"
me "ooook"
me "bye postie"

 

[↑↓TriXx↓↑]

Sellers are filling their boots... starting to get extreme on the short side and priming up for a short squeeze.

What do you guys think ?

I've seen that twice now, it gets funnier / sadder the more you watch.
It a classic case of lottery millionares not know what to spend it on next.
Money gives you the freedom to be yourself, and some people are pretty ugly. Though some are nice.

Yep.
Buying into the unknown makes no sense, so people will sell and they will be punished for being risk averse.
Or to look at it another way, those sellers are paying a premium to the buyers for an insurance policy.

really, who from?

All your positions will be closed ...
