FTSE + FTSE 250 - consider trading (FTSE)     

cynic - 20 Oct 2007 12:12

rather than pick out individual stocks to trade, it can often be worthwhile to trade the indices themselves, especially in times of high volatility.

for those so inclined, i attach below charts for FTSE and FTSE 250, though one might equally be tempted to trade Dow or S&P, which is significantly broader in its coverage, or even NASDAQ

for ease of reading, i have attached 1 year and 3 month charts in each instance

I was tempted this morning for the first time in a while to short the DOW (post 13553)
- obviously I didn't!

This about AUD/NZD from twitter:

GBP/JPY just shot up at 9.28 am - which is nice because I'm long again :-) (edit - thanks to manufacturing PMI)

Starting to look tired?

as posted 7/10 days ago, i am already short S&P, though I was a bit premature in so doing
I also agree that dow has pretty much run out of puff, and a fall of 77 points last night will not have improved sentiment

if I have any sense I should also be considering seriously taking money out of my uk stocks

Seymour Clearly - 03 Dec 2013 09:27 - 13566 of 21973

Struggling to find a trade today (and yesterday). All getting a bit toppy.

Edit, quick +16 from GJ - less than a minute :-)

long USD/JPY short DOW

cynic - 03 Dec 2013 10:54 - 13569 of 21973

can't be a bad call to short dow, even though it's already fallen about 120 points since yesterday

banked some good profits on part of BLNX and arguably should do same to other stuff

halifax - 03 Dec 2013 11:10 - 13570 of 21973

November construction PMI 62.6 up from 59.4 in October.

Seymour Clearly - 03 Dec 2013 11:22 - 13571 of 21973

Lovely cup on Cable M15, heading for resistance now.

Long @6,542.

Shortie - 03 Dec 2013 12:14 - 13574 of 21973

Been debating a long FTSE all morning, are you looking for 6600 first target also?

skinny - 03 Dec 2013 12:17 - 13575 of 21973

Yes - its seems fairly pivotal - although just to be in profit would be nice!

Its the first time in ages that I haven't had a short running - most disconcerting!

Seymour Clearly - 03 Dec 2013 12:57 - 13576 of 21973

That's the one Skinny. And Cable certainly is resisting!

Looks like I should have been short GJ. Anyway, a few pips in the bag but not confident to take out a long term position.

Seymour Clearly - 04 Dec 2013 08:14 - 13577 of 21973

Went long GJ early am. Think it's ready for another move up, but wdik? Prepared to be wrong ......

Shortie - 04 Dec 2013 09:23 - 13578 of 21973

Watching this for a short possibility.
