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 am ignoring you Shortie.

For Fs sake you arent really being influenced by the intra day pressure of hillary are you?

Take a step back and just have a look at what you have posted this morning. Take a few minutes out.

For Gods sake man your probably the best indicies trader on this site (SKINNY IS TOP NOTCH) and your listening to Elliot Wave Bull shit from Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relax and realise your being manipulated by an inferior being.

Pull yourself together.

And that still doesn't work... As per 14745 then, it breaks the rules.. I think..

Do you get changed in a telephone box GF? FOff

6530 small short

Chris Carson is Gay. 'Hes come out'

Nothing wrong with that but dont let him influence you.

Corks are cheap.

Hit a nerve Fred The Reds Bitch?

Corks for sale.

Try sticking a large one in your big Yorkshire Gob! Give us all a break :O)

No you put a large Kabab up where the sun doesnt shine and we'l all feel fine.

With some help from Klal - the worst recent consecutive run has been 9 down finishes in November 2011 followed by 7 in July/August 2011.

This is lively here this morning ,i love a good punch up .
Now are we in for another big backward step this afternoon.

Elliott Waves I happen to quite like. I thought Hilary made a good point in the chart.

6524.3 short closed.. +5.7

No he/she didnt.(hilary)

This persons perception of Elliot Wave is flawed.

Pull yourself together Shortie.....your the man.

Shortie,

I did say that I was no Elliott Wave technician.

Regarding the hard rules, in my interpretation wave 2 didn't retrace more than 100% of wave 1 and wave 3 was, by my calculations, 164 points and wave 1 was 143 points, so it wouldn't have been the shortest impulse wave. The fly in the ointment is, as you rightly point out, that wave 4 would have overlapped into wave 1. Extrapolating the logic suggests, therefore, that we're still in wave 3 of a correction to the uptrend.

Fishfinger,

I've known for a long time that you're a dickhead, and, if there was ever any uncertainty, the rest of the forum have now got your card marked as a dickhead too.

Congratulations on wrecking this thread. You've managed to wreck your own thread and, together with Fred, you've succeeded in driving most normal people away from this forum. You're clearly a few cans short of a six-pack - don't they have any decent shrinks you can visit in that shanty town oop norf that you mistakenly think is paradise?

LOL.. hey OLD HAG get upstairs. (lets face it thats why you are there)

And then re- read Elliots own flawed book on the wave.

I'm no technician either Hilary but do find these things interesting, more so your Schaff Cycle comments.

ps.........loads err money hillary.

Not bad for a prick. (big prick)

Whats your definition of NORMAL!!!!................YOU...... LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

6509 gone long

Ultimatly FTSE should fall next week to test support at 6400... IMO...

6524.3 position closed +15.3
