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

And Prince Of Wales kecks and Doc Martens.

ahhhhhhhhh they were the days.........kicking s-it out of Everton fans.

LOL Jimmy........CLASS.

6345 gone short..

Shortie, whats the minimal amount to open a City Index account.? Cheers in advance, cant find anything with goggle that refers.

Cynic, you havent been locked in have you.??????

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

Cheers Shortie,

What a wanker............Later Posts

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

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..

6308.8 position closed, +36.2

GF - no; not locked in and don't understand what you're talking about anyway ...... meanwhile, i am sorry to see that santa is in headlong retreat once more ..... all very ugly
