Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[f2calv]

Are you holding over the weekend.

Sadly not, I bailed [too early] on the first trade @11803, and the second with 50 pips or so.

I'd had a fair poor week upto then so I was keen to realise the profit and make up for earlier losses - it crossed my mind to just walk away with the stop at breakeven, but the temptation to close was *too* great. In hindsight I should have left some of the massively in-profit positions, but hey there will be other opportunities next week

It's been so long since I saw a market tank in such a fashion as that I'd pretty much forgotten how to play it. Looking to short any dax rallies next week. :innocent:

I expected a bit of support on the Dax around 11700

ditto

Daxy should rocket today if you can catch the bottom, or just wait out the early morning fireworks.

 

[Dick Lexic]

Dax bounce after the fall but how far?

 

[f2calv]

Stopped out @8017, I've got a feeling my luck isn't going to hold much longer!

And ProRealTime being a bit laggy/unreliable (as it was on Friday) either because I'm winning or IG systems can't keep up with the volume...

Dax was good today, A of ABC of the 4th EW on Daily looks done, where the B will terminate?
Postman, your morning call to look for longs was great!!!

 

[itspossible]

Very shocked by the bounce today.May the bull continue

Ditto to the level of bounce, barely had time to be settled into a bearish frame of mind

Having said that I'm still praying for a Grexit/overbought-related tank on the Dax and/or an Election-related tank on the ftse.

Reaction has been expected, of course nobody knows for sure, as to when and how many pips but once some zones are in play, what remains is simply to follow the market.
I do not waist energy for anything apart to try to follow the market, for a longer perspective use Delta count and EWs .
All is relatively simple, though I still use some indicators.
It is time to have a break,
Good trades to all,

What a typically bonkers move by the yanks on the open.
I'm holding for the week now. (Hopefully).
I have my S&P target in the competition.
Lets see if it carries on up or gently glides down.

European stocks technically recover from the last week falls. Last week, European markets had one of the worst weekly performance this year. The reasons for this fall are essentially three. The first is the decline of the dollar, which had been the main catalyst for the rally of some indexes such as the DAX, which includes several export companies. The European currency has been favored by the weak US economic data, with the perception that the rise in interest rates in the US is not imminent and some factors of a more technical nature (the fall of the Euro has reached extreme levels and not observed even when the apex the sovereign debt crisis). The second reason is the growing nervousness regarding the situation in Greece. The deterioration of public finances of this country has worsened and some European leaders such as German finance minister, appear skeptical about a possible deal during the course of the Eurogroup meeting next Friday. The third reason is a reflection of the previous two and concerns the temptation for some Profit Taking.

TV works only on sunny days.
They probably were buying some trading courses and out of the black box signals before.
And of course, they loved forums, FB and Twitter.
Now they are free at least, no more expensive internet around
