Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

Go now 3 times bigger average will be 17580 well on still by the end 🙂

Hah I'll leave the "balls-deep short" until next week... currently the position is negating all my work for the past week but I feel more comfy going into the weekend short than long after 4 weeks of up :whistling

 

[f2calv]

Exited those two positions at almost breakeven, the averaging down will have to wait till next week.
Have a good weekend all!

Interesting morning. Caught some shorts at the open and again at 6200 level but been stopped out a couple of times now at 6208 - 6214 level. Shorted again from 6211 level which I'm holding atm.
lets see.

-236 points sounds crazy, -£500 it's fine.

Yeah not my brightest moment to be fair, but hey I'm honest.
I've been looking at buying some puts this morning, a safer way of top picking that I should have used before tbh :|

Holding still and moved my stop to profit but not a particularly convincing retracement imho. lets see.

 

[f2calv]

I think a retest of the highs and then some...

Closed @6191.7 - Don't want to get caught out with spikes from pre-US open.

Morning, (just).

Had to pull an extra shift delivering parcels to cover the margin call. 😆
I'm just waiting now, not adding to the position.

I'm watching the dax hover around 10,000 looks like it could keep going up from here. 🙁

 

[f2calv]

@postman so are you still short the dow from last week?

 

[f2calv]

Closed my short for -£360, just too distracted and can't concentrate on new opportunities.
