Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[swissy]

Out @5640

That enough for me - I only trade FTSE (or ASX in Southern Hemisphere) so best of luck (and skill) for those trading US tonight.

Luck!
Who needs luck when I have the power of google behind me to make decisions.

The crude effect appears to be wearing off, the price went straight down at 3pm and never recovered yet dow / s&p are near days high.
There's some buying of stocks out there.

%wise heres an idea of the carnage from the highs:
Ftse -20.6%
Nikkei - 23.6%
Dax -28.0%

Dow -12.8%
S&P -13.0%

Those yanks arent really bothered about this, its the Eurozone and Asia thats worried.
What worries me is this is not you fall 10% and then eat it all back up again in 10 days market action. This is a sustained sell off day after day.

This is where people who are swimming naked start to worry.

my first target of 16090 was hit comfortably, next target is probably 16160 as i mentioned yesterday but im liking 16195

 

[dc2000]

all this watchin malarky makin me hungry stop in @15830 limit @ a rather cheeky 16240

got lucky there that dive would have taken me out just before the turn and then unlucky on not having a more conservative target

still big day tomorrow
FTSE on the money
DOW could go inverted with a good hit

The market will always give you a second chance to put your trunks on even warren knows that

 

[dc2000]

wow not even finished my toast and cleared 60 to the dark side on the FTSE!

 

[dc2000]

and you would now be long 5616 area with a stop below 5595 looking for 5670 area

 

[dc2000]

5670 take money off table and wait for break out of high or a second low 5620 area

 

[dc2000]

why no second short after a fast move down and then up you need to give room to show you the play
if it breaks out then we work out an entry level

 

[dc2000]

boom shown its hand
so now we work out entry draw lines on chart or work in head

 

[dc2000]

5653

 

[f2calv]

5653

Could you share your rationale for that figure? Was that in head or on chart?

 

[dc2000]

sure its 50% of the move, done in head

 

[dc2000]

this is where Iwould normally go of and have a brew or browse ebay, set orders to buy @5653 and @5698 and sell @5726
