Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[zorbas]

Just now hedged the Dax short with a little bit of US30

This market is going higher. It digests all bad or good news.

Possible the peak will be next week. Oct 23 Apple announces new products and at 24 earnings.

mornin' guys

ftse opened +25 strong vs dow (lucky I closed that pair last night) and has traded -5 weak since. Probably won't trade a pair since out and about today, If ftse corrects by trading weak you'll get more bang for your buck if you fancy a long by doing it on dow or, if you fancy a short, doing it on ftse.

Will it be a 9:00 o'clock reversal ?

morning bustech, jungerns, innoz, zorbas

yesterday the US dollar index plunged, this drove ftse/us indices higher

 

[innoz]

When you look back in 2008, the US dollar plunged with the equities indexes.
But for the past months, it has been a good indication

i am trying to calculate equivalent level for ftse if dow gets to 13600/660 (closing/intraday resistance)

FTSE longs are safe while SP500 dec remains above 1448.54 for next 25mins

UK jobs data out 5 mins ago not moved markets

thanks barjon, that may be good level to short if dow remains below 13600/13660. expecially if you use VIX trigger

SP500 dec, hourly bull level is 1449.07 we are above that as of 10:30 FTSE is 5882

From 5882

13600 = 5921

13660 = 5980

Numbers from my spreadsheet.

I have DR3 @ 5969


In September when DOW was 13600 and above, FTSE was around current level 5886.

The best scenario for me if DOW goes that way is for FTSE to be full of enthusiasm and outpace the DOW rise and if the DOW turns FTSE will likely come down with a bump.

Alternatively if FTSE follows DOW up reluctantly then if DOW turns FTSE will probably hold up quite well realtively and any short would be best on DOW.

In either case it's the DOW that'll decide it and maybe that's where to look for a signal?

 

[SuddenDeath]

From 5882

13600 = 5921

13660 = 5980

Numbers from my spreadsheet.

thanks Bustech, check your spreadsheet.

13600-13660 = 60pts
5980-5921 = 59pts

should this be less than half?

this was nice bullish signal,

BP +3% watch 450 big resistance and yearly fib retracement level (last 448)

no ex divi's ? this wednesday

highest ftse close over 6 months was 5917 (14 sept) approx one month ago

 

[bustech]

thanks Bustech, check your spreadsheet.

13600-13660 = 60pts
5980-5921 = 59pts

Sorry mate
Should be 5899 and 5925
Was adding DOW variance into the FTSE.

I know Dick would like the 5980.

Also straight after the DOW close with the IBM result, DOW dropped 40 points in a few mins.
Could this weigh at the open?
