Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

^^^ I echo this, you seem to be slightly more long term than a scalper by reading your calls. Just curious what you do to work your calls out.
 
10030 - very small short, SL 10040 and going home.

See, what happens in 1h. :) In worst case, I'll lose coffe. In best case, it could be a dinner on the table.

EDIT: moved to BE.

Obviously taken out for BE.

But.... what's going on? Prior to this, DAX had no bottom and US indices were flying. Now it's vice-versa. On full short signal and down from huge R, DAX falls few 10 pips? Should be hundreds...:-0

Dow on the other hand is back at daily bottom. If it breaks, we know what that means.

Crazy world...

Ok, will write a bit of explanation when i reach home, in train at the moment.

first two positions were not based on channel. However , market moved quickly to upper part of channel, it was still ok to hold them. I was waiting to short above 10k , so shorted again.

So basiclly two setups are working simultaneously, ... the first setup is based on candlestick and sentiments plus resistance, something which i am trying to fine tune for a long time... i still think the first setup should work.
 
it wants to break...but we do not know the direction
if we get it wrong..we double up on the other side

i wasnt paying major attention but i agree the dax was doing its own thing today-it was flying and ignoring the dow-
 
might want to test that trend/red

The abandonment of the connection to the Euro by the Bank of Switzerland certainly was the event of the day. Volatility continue to be a hallmark on the European sessions. The oil sector can recover some of the recent losses but remain a major source of volatility. Sustainable rising oil will only be possible when materialize one of two conditions: a minor imbalance between supply and demand or a decline of the dollar against major currencies.
 
Ok, look at DOW and the channel I was taking about... 10030 - 10090 is sell area.

The only problem that i can see with those shorts is
1-massive move today on dax
2- dax rose whilst dow was weak
3-dow ended down but the futures are up now which may make for futher upside tomorrow on all indices.
