Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[tar]

Long DAX 9795

 

[postman]

Dow wont go below 17660 now.
Waiting for Europe to close so it can soar.

 

[postman]

Dow down 360 points from high.
Must be Christmas.
BTFD.

Be interesting to see how this pans out, daily still within an upward channel, but now the daily MACD has signalled short, first time since Oct 22nd. Toss a coin time :whistling

 

[nitrader]

Watching and waiting - down now a few points for the day - bad trade on the Dax got me.

Keen to see if I catch a break on the upside on the Dax or Dow.

Sympathies.
Very difficult to short Dax ALL DAY given its reputation.

Currently long Dow, just trying to scalp a few points on any pull backs
but it is not playing ball at the moment.

I am using a 5min TF - anything shorter requires too much screen time and I am at work.

I thought Dow had reversed and was in an upward channel but looks more like a trading range - and I bought close to the top 🙁

Stop further than I would like it to be but don't want to be stopped out too soon.

On the other hand it may be developing a down channel on the 5min chart (hope not)

Closed for a small loss

Its the Dow - its going up - just wait 5 minutes you'll be in profit no matter what price you bought. 😆

I've taken a short on the Dow at 716.

Looks to be a bit toppy now and S&P has retraced 15 handles.
Holding for a while given Europe and Asia.

729 is a 100 point retrace on the Dow.
How much further are you going to push it?

not going to push it much

Just closed for a few points profit.

It will probably soar now

I have no real "feel" yet for what is a "big" move - and what is a "big" retrace.
I am sure this will come with screen time .

So Dow could say move down 200 today but run out of steam when it retraces 100 today?
But tomorrow could start a fresh and move up a further 200?

also - looks like I bailed too early🙁

I'm with you nitrader. Still learning, (after our time following you know who), still learning also. Just about flat today now with this recent rise. So bailing out today and happy I have broken even
