Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[counter_violent]

Not particularly

I've highlighted the important bit in post 79057.

If you build groups of instruments that reflect actual real life events and examples. You don't need to search for a reason why...it just is....see it do it...no thinking required. All of that work was done previously.

1.5 points left on the s&p, you know they're going to do it, its like a dog chasing a cat it cant help itself.

At s&p 2372 cash.

Short the f*ck out of it.

Scale in.

That's right, relationships hold most of the time, but not always. Just so happens we are in one of those adjustment periods. That's why traders need the correct tools.

Single instrument monkeys and pattern traders are basically doomed...they don't have the first idea what's going on. They might as well buy a lottery ticket !

There is no training, classroom or otherwise, that can prepare for trading the last third of a move, whether it's the end of a bull market or the end of a bear market.

Well at least the dax wont close on the high again. Oh FI*ck.

 

[postman]

I think they are just going to push it up there to p1ss me off before dropping, who knows.

They are, they really are going to push the dax to 265 where my stop is.

They see it on the server. Got a little tag next to it says postman take him out

 

[postman]

Might I suggest other people benefit from my loss by entering short where I am going to be pushed out.

You can just type sell more as that seems to be the way to go.

No doubt in my mind markets are manipulated, to what extent? Weakness in the data can be exploited, if even for a few millisecs, secs or mins. That butterfly that flaps its wings in China affects my weather.and vice versa:idea:

MATH MAJORS ARE EMPLOYED TO LOOK FOR WEAKNESSIN THE DATA. Thats all they do 24/7

I'm ok with that, because I can beat them; i exploit the data too

i've spent last 18yrs/18hrs per day watching charts..its what i do:idea:

I'm just off to Thomas Cook to buy some Euros so my dax position gets back on side.
