Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[barjon]

,morning all

ftse should be -35 lower than current sb price after dow fall - can't hold current level surely?

 

[zorbas]

Looking to short the Dax. Don't know if it is a good idea though.

How do you close the pair ? Simultaneously, or close first the winning position and wait for the other to reverse ?

if the markets are going up at the time, close the short first then the long if it doesn't keep going - vice versa if markets going down

The gap down and up the first 5 min, was to get out the stops. Then I figured it would go up, but decided to hold, since it's only a pinch.

the morning action can be tough, hard to read when u only have a few 5 min bars out of hours to work with.

zorbas i keep an eye on sp500 december future, it made a 13 hour high just now.

i have the FTSE100/sp500 both as 100% bearish, but if they can make the shorts blink it can snap higher.

Morning barjon

Spotted it in Asia, great trade.
Felt like getting someone from T2W to phone and wake you up.
