Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[SuddenDeath]

Thanks .. you also have a adx di+ coming up to a cross with the di- very bearish

on daily chart

 

[Soloquan]

FTSE intraday 4min chart looks like head shoulders breakdown

come on you BEAUUUTY

 

[barjon]

ftse now at S2 @ 5602,

i've close out 50% s/l to b/e

if support goes now...

nice one solo - just for interest would you look at your last ten trades that hit your first target and say how things would have looked if you'd gone all out rather than 50% (I'm assuming that's your usual practice) - if you find the time and the inclination of course

 

[SuddenDeath]

the oversold levels worked so well yesterday

 

[barjon]

...ps: when you've raked in the extra from this one, of course

 

[Soloquan]

added 1 position @ 5594

 

[SuddenDeath]

RIO down 3.6% in freefall, the bear flag breakdown target are far far below 2975p

 

[SuddenDeath]

5570 target for intraday head shoulders

 

[Soloquan]

Closed out both @ 5594

this might bounce a bit now

 

[hereward the wake]

I was laying in bed last night thinking the exact same thing.

My only problem is this, to me trading as in the actual act of trading, is fairly easy, spot an entry fix a target and away you go. As you well know after this it's what's in your head that matters.

If I was to take the whole lot off at a set target and then the move LOOKS like it might continue I'm liable to jump straight back in again this causes me to overtrade and exposes me to the possibility of losing the profit I have just made. If however I take a % off and the move continues I can then add to a winning position.

I can deal with this in my head but I can't deal with overtrading and potentially taking off 100% of the position only to see smash through repeated s/r levels.

Like I say for me trading is ALL IN THE HEAD and my head is one messed up place

Christ if this goes through 5580 I'm screwed, that's S3, my chart doesn't have Support 4 on it! How do you even work out what S4 is?

Away you go, where? You have the cheek to criticise my shopping expeditions?

Hey, my socks have holes in 'em, who knows if I actually cared about my appearance I might have doubled what I've made so far this week

 

[Soloquan]

back up near S2 which is now acting as resistance, again, break either side of this for me to enter

 

[SuddenDeath]

I hope this move to 5589 was spreadbet company stop hunting.

 

[SuddenDeath]

when FTSE was at 5589 I was in deep doo dah

everything ok now
