My trading platform, IGindex services bets on them so they provide line charts of the Wall street and FTSE futures. I am using the equities for direction and the chart for entries and most of the time (especially when the equities tumble) there is a significant correlation.
Thanks for that. I also have FTSE futures on my platform. I thought they are different from the basic FTSE. Now I see, they are alike.

yep but maybe above 1.4869 will be fine too since we have this pin bar on the 4H ruining the exact trend swing high so will look for a signal above 69 but ur stop should be above 1.5039 so ... target would be 1.5 minimum reward to ratio...
Nah, I'll wait for 1.4897 myself, if it goes there.

The ftse is tumbling and it's a friday... weird day to take unnecessary risk.

I watch the tick chart normally with the last 2 hours in focus at a time in this market.

They are alike during market hours but the futures can be traded after hours so gives the overall picture. The S&P futures generally follow the FTSE trend till NY opens.

Cheers dude. Here's another useful link that I always keep open for free live Market and Forex audio news. It's not too intrusive but extremely useful for a heads up when you are nervous that a trade could turn and bite your bottom.

The also call out the economic news items and give live summary's when the puppets like Paulson are speaking.

Hi all.We closed above 4 hr gann so now retracment to 4940-48015 on next 1 hr candle i hope and then more up.If we close aggain on next 4 hr below gann then we are ranging.No trades then for me i think.Daily divergance is not played all the way so 5200 today possible again in the end.

QQE system on 1 hr and 4 hr telling last night big retrace on up.I didnt belive it because i don't use that QQE on big TF and look 5000 area now.Now untill 1 hr QQe cros down again and we break gann on down on 1 hr no big down.

If you are short from my charts ...then be carefull.I think could be retrace down but we are above 4 hr gann.That is up sign for now

see ya

It's all about the fibs. We broke consolidation at the 23.6 area then turned just shy of the 61.8, where I took profit on my first position. We then bounced right on the 36.2 which is typical if we are going to continue the upward move, which we have. The Dow Futures are currently up over 300 so we will probably continue the up move for a while. This post is on a 15 min chart and my second position is still running up well over 150 pips, but I will refer to the longer time frames to get a better idea of the big picture.

I closed my long at 990 and went short. All the other currencies that were doing well against USD are resisting now. EUR also banged into a Diag TL so it will take something special to get thru here imho. Looks like the equities confidence is slipping too so there may be a few pips in shorts I think.

Good call taking the short from yesterday's high. I missed it but I was looking for 20 or 30 pips on the bounce. Could be more.

I would have taken that movement simply because it was a range of over 280 pips from the bottom yesterday and it seemed very likely would would bounce on the previous day's high as we do in most cases. I still have my second position in from 1.4780 but I will pull it if we drop much more or fail to make a move at the opening bell. We have had a pretty good range today already but it is possible lately to range much more.
