Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[datav]

thanks datav

do you think the dax is king over the US markets?

It certainly seems to be at the moment

 

[datav]

I shorted the ES mini after the employment figures and its dropped in step with the DAX all the way. Hesitating now, but not retracing as much as the European

 

[datav]

Note the stop placed at the high of the prvious 30 minute bar. That will keep you in and allow for chop

still alive sd

have we found a bottom?

 

[datav]

For today probably, although I think it will go to 5575 on Monday. I don't however have the balls to hold it over the weekend

 

[Dick Lexic]

make it 5564 that wipes out the first quarter

 

[DaddyJohn]

WOW !!! did you see the open tonight????? DAX pushed down over 100 pts -- couldnt resist at 6400....
may regret it I know - but tight stop .. this could be interesting

 

[DaddyJohn]

for a while I have seen 6300 as the low for the dax before I load up... but this fast move down was surprising (who would have thought the French could have such an impact) ... any way .. if I am right about 6300.. then we need to see another leg up now before the final move back down to 6300 .. my guess is around 15-20th May for 6300. Sticking my neck out here I know

 

[DaddyJohn]

sooooo many trade opps .. but the spreads are just too wide at this time of night..

 

[Dick Lexic]

think we are due a move up but will it move much today?

nice call

guess you all will be looking to load up soon I know we are at KB, looking for a nice return circa 6574

 

[Dick Lexic]

nice bounce on the Q low but we need that march low back at 730... looks a tall order at the mo

ha, will it be buy in May when they all go away?

critical area for me 560/70 (Q low)

 

[Dick Lexic]

just a flying visit DC?

Hi DC... great to hear from you... I was in DAX at 6400 last night.. still holding.. though I feel 6300 may beckon for the low....

 

[DaddyJohn]

DAX just hit my limit -- 125 pts ---- cool

Its not a good name I would like to change it, think I got it after the dotcom bust and I was very depressed
