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

No no no no no no Shortie, use your head man, get a taxi service 24 hours a day 365 day per year and on a ten minute contract.

NOW THATS CLASS.

And no inbuilt depreciation.

Shortie - 15 Dec 2014 10:21 - 16946 of 21973

I wouldn't hold your breath on that Santa Rally just yet mate, sure we'll see some buying today but considering lasts weeks fall and it being oversold some buying is expected....

Shortie - 15 Dec 2014 12:10 - 16954 of 21973

There is no minimum GF, but of course you'll have to have enough to cover your margins before you can trade.

dow dropped another bundle at last knockings to finish at 17280 (-315), with a bit of further weakness after hours

cash ftse showing -65, so it's effectively guaranteed that monday will be vile as well

Shortie - 15 Dec 2014 13:01 - 16957 of 21973

Oh GF, Cityindex has got a decent phone app also, I make most of my plays on the app when I'm out and about..

Shortie - 15 Dec 2014 13:12 - 16958 of 21973
