[SuddenDeath]

is it div payment today?

think ftse goes ex divi, the stocks that pay the divi today go ex divi tomorrow

is it div payment today?

Always close on Tuesday.

Been told no payment today, but can't confirm.

Wrong 5.75 points.

in italy earthquake scientists have been sentenced to jail terms for failing to predict the italian earthquakes, we should have laws like that for economists and stock market forecasters, would clean up the industry in days

Watching SP. Thinking about a long as seems to be support just over 1420 for last two weeks. A little nervous as never traded SP before. Will wait for an uptrend to buy into. Closed a FTSE short for a 20 point loss but won a few hedges along the way.

Hi everyone, new here. I'm using Finspreads to trade ftse cash market, ususally shorting it.
I can't seem to find the dollar index on this platform, as I want to hedge my position with the ftse
trades I do. Ftse goes down the dollar index goes up and vice verse.

SP just made a new 6-week low below 1421. Just noticed I have been upgraded from rookie to junior member, let's hope it improves my trading!

Bull confirmation for SP500 December is 1434.8

SP500 is 100% bearish. fake news and stop running can only make it go higher

FTSE pivots for tuesday


buy 5930
sell 5925

posted the above at 7.25am

technically SP500 is in poor shape, people got to find some support levels or news to make shorts cover. the market makers may be clearing the stops below 1416, before they let it go higher

I tried a long, but got take out for 7pt loss.

the EURUSD hs kept people safe, 1.3043 was good trigger for shorting, both EURUSD and FTSE

 

[ianhey]

FTSE long from 1420 would have been stopped but moved stop back 10 points. Bad strategy I know. Currently down 10 points.
