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

cynic hope you closed your short dow up 100+, taper reduced by $10b.... storm in a teacup.

LOL

no, i've left all running ..... i'll only start to get concerned if there's momentum through 16125
meanwhile, i've plenty of stuff long on this side, not least HG+HC and C+M indices which are likely to react strongly tomorrow

==============

but not very comfortable for all that
hey ho - rough with smooth etc

Dow closes up 293 @16167, FTSE cash +81.

Cyners I did warn you.

Hopefully drag the FTSE up tomorrow .

Super expert cynic not the only one with no clue about what is doing.Recently mine broker started beta platform where traders (?) or so called experts as one here can see each other moves with exact open/close positions.So there is one who is still short ftse from 6442 at £25/point and short dow from 15705 at £6/point meaning he is £2500 + and £2400+ respectively down and running..I dont know what worst : losing that money or not realising being wrong about whole thing.lol

yes you did sticky, but the damage could have been much worse as those shorts should be more than covered (i hope) by the longs i have elsewhere .... anyway, for now at least, i'll leave them all running and see what happens next

==============

early doors shows very little damage done overall relative to last night's london close

Lol ."lets see what happen next"- i love it the most..
I can imagine a movie where Goldman Sachs taking cynic on board as chief executive of trading and let him sit down in propetiary trading room with all access to account and cynic goes: lets go short here, here , long here , here , add more here and here.. then he is turning to everyone stunned behind him and say : " let see what happen next " ...f...wet my pants..lol

.

Approaching resistance, lets hope it gets blasted away.
