Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[SuddenDeath]

looks like the end of the technical rebound for the dow?

 

[SuddenDeath]

I'm trading to the short side, now.

nicely timed short

It's helped me make good end to a disappointing morning. They can't all be like yesterday, of course.

I may not have finished, yet.

this market seems like its on a knife edge, the spain bump has been short lived,

FTSE made a lower low on daily chart, not healthy

My argument for trend following, using averages.

You can see why I just said that I was, now, trading to the short side.

Just after 1500 Fins site went down for a minute, or so. This is the only suspicion that I have of them.
It happens when the market is on the the move, although, not frequently. A few times a week, probably. This does not put me off them because their fills are always very fast, for my needs, anyway, but when it went down I was making about 5 points profit and when it came back I was up 22 points! So it depends on how you are trading. Anyone wanting to close a long at that point would have been stuck. For this reason, ALWAYS, put a stop on with the trade, even if it is a long way away.

you could always have a second trading acc with another provider, so you could close a stuck order by doing opposite trade on other provider

That's true but consider my age! 😀 I like things simple. What if they both crashed?

I don't use channels, as such, but an average with a minimum distance channel gives me a bold average that I like using. Just a whim of no real importance.

Just after I posted that bloody chart look what happened. I guess I'm not shorting anymore. 😱

I was safely out of that short I had but afraid I did not catch the long.

 

[SuddenDeath]
