Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[malaguti]

13850-13900 I might see this getting to in the short term

13850...pure genius

Bears are having a bit of a go at the moment. Looking to get back in long on the Dow but the pullback is strong

Hi All.

Tried to go long on the Dow but got stopped out as it turned southwards again. Good that I lost only 2 pips.

Went long on Dow and stopped out for a 5 tick loss. Reversed to short and made 9 ticks on a scalp. Could be some support at 13800.

Well we're due a pop on the markets for our patience this afternoon. Nearly 3 hours without a new high, heads will roll.

FSTE was up 9% from Jan to Apr in 2012.
Then in May gave it back and some in 14 trading days.
May's not that far away.
Over the years in the stronger part of the market cycle November to April, the high normally comes in March.
Bit of a correction in early Feb, then the big div payments kick in late Feb which supports the market again into late Feb. Which seem's to suck buyers in for the high in March.
GFC years screwed all the above.

PS. If we get a left field event, i.e North Korea take,s over the world then things can change.

Is MSFT reporting after the close ?
Could be more pain in the NAz

May's not that far away.

May expires also the House debt ceiling extension.

Should we wait to sell in May and go away ?

 

[Dick Lexic]

cac/dax/nasdaq ain't buying it

Yes, Microsoft are due to report after close of US session.
Microsoft are also one of the Dow constituents
