FTSE has been very strange today well under the sp500

 

[SuddenDeath]

standard pivot 5855 also one to watch cash

i found that 1455.81 sp500 futures is a big level, equivalent to 5819 ftse.

this is 23.6 fib on es`u contract. above here it indicates sp500 is very strong.

5773 = equivalent 38.2 on es`u contract

where does the 5855 come from

 

[SuddenDeath]

FTSE range today currently 48 pts, think it almost did this in the half hour of options expiry

yippee, more or less flat now

 

[et.]

FTSE bounced off the buy pivot 8442 three times

Done well today. I count about 7 reasonable touches, depending on how long you hold for. You could have almost made that '8'.

My 'buy pivot' has been too low.

I have a line at 5851 which was resistance after 10:15 but it has generally preferred to go to the 38% retrace. After the expected bull run (might not have had wave 5 bear yet) I'd be looking for 5851 to become support.

yesterdays daily H+L+C divided by 3 = 5855....standard pivot calc

work out the pivot on sp500 futures and figure out the equivalent level for FTSE100, it comes out to 5840, with yesterdays ftse/spy ratio 3.9977

5840 ? todays low is....

5838.86

ratio worked out by dividing the 50ma on one minute chart of ftse100 with 50ma on 1 min chart of spy/es`u

Unfortunately shorting the Dax didn't play out for me. Had to stop 3 trades, underwater 4 digits.

At some point I tried to hedge with Ftse, but this barely moved in comparison to the dax
