Can't find any news. The fall was vertical, stops probably got huge slipage.

agree, FTSE needs to be ignored from 8.20am to about 2pm sat in a 16pt range

Dax had a nice plunge past 3 hours.

 

[rawrschach]

an order for 4,000 lots done at 5790, (thats £40,000 /point)

FTSE cash/futures are trading less than 1pt apart

Buy or sell? Did he get filled?

=o

DAX looks like a good opportunity to short - other indexes reversed more, could try a hedge ?

DAX trade today.

its hard to say, each order has a buyer on one side and seller on the other, interest was exchanged . it would be good to see if open interest increased or shrunk.

current reading 614,588

BP bounced from 417 big level , bloomberg talking trash about BP

 

[rawrschach]

Reid Says ‘Little Progress’ Made Recently in Fiscal Cliff Talks

Plenty more of that in the next 4 weeks.

Politician waffle and spin.

Just need to be careful because it can move the markets very quickly.

If you on the right side of the trade, no problem.

Bustech is spot on. I shorted the Dow on today's open which was going very nicely until US politician Boehner said he was optimistic a deal could be done with Obama. Market reversed very quickly and I was stopped out at breakeven.

You told me about this a couple of weeks ago.
Do you use it only for analysis, or you can place trades ?
