Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[hereward the wake]

HTW i trade it using the one minute chart, if the price on one minute candle closes above the buy pivot then I go long and sell if candle closes below sell pivot.

1 minute! Snakes alive that must keep you busy

the dollar is strong, money going into treasury's 10yr rallying by 2.9%

narrow daily ranges after a 400pt move in ftse, says bull is ready to be speared and dragged out of the ring by horses

unless it can get back above buy pivot, 13,155

very low volumes, the spread betters can rattle the ftse up and down and trigger the buy/sell stops nice easy money,

Hi Solo

Sorry should have mentioned at the weekend you can compare on IG advanced charts. Just thought every one with IG used advanced charts, never assume anything in trading
I use IG advanced charts every day, not for comparing.
Have looked at comparing BHP/RIO from London to Sydney.
Gives the difference in percentage terms.
Always found it hard to understand, but also never spent the time with it.
More of an excel numbers person.

Bustech how do you do this? I've just got IG's advanced charts but can't find this function anywhere

Open the first market you want to compare on what time frame you want, say FTSE on 15min or daily
On the top of the window(mid to right side) there is a multi coloured button called Indicator/Backtest.
Click on this and there will be list of different indicators.
Double click on the Compared securiy(on price),opens another window.
In this window you find all the markets, forex,shares,etc.
Then just double click on what you want compare to FTSE, like DOW,DAX or GBP/USD.
Looks like a very powerfull tool.

Closed out all my long AUD/USD positions, some been held from 1 to 6 weeks
Going to start building short positions., probably after Thursday.
Need a catalyst to start the downward trend.
Looking for about 6 to 8 week hold, aim is for 0.98 to 1.02

Short 1.056 and 1.061
Will add when we break 1.05 at the New York rollover.
Trade above 1.063 and hold will exit trades.
Need DOW and FTSE to go lower to get this trade moving.
