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

chuckle ..... well this morning it all opened pretty cheerfully, but now resembles borodino!

Someone has been watching War & Peace on a sunday evening!

Once it dawned on me that the far east are probably celebrating the Chinese new year I decided that I would give the fts a miss until at least lunch time'ish.

This market really is bad ,i suppose it will not recover with the EU ref hanging over us .
Just got to trade the ups and downs if you can get it right .

absolutely
wonderfully done, though it did entertain me that pierre never lost his glasses except for one brief scene of about 2 minutes!

so now what on a sunday evening?
no forsyte saga, upstairs downstairs, dickens, downton, w+p :-(

FTSE 100 ın name and value on current projectıon. What now has upset the flıghty one?

I'm long from 5739 .

it's all a bit fingers x'ed in the present climate, but even if wrong call initially, there's a good chance that it will come right in due course, and quite possibly during the course of the day

I will leave you chaps at the coal face as I have an anniversary to celebrate with my beloved.

If it's yours Stan,congrats.

all very gruesome at the moment
it didn't surprise that the markets headed south, but i certainly didn't expect this level of collapse

.

who'da thought it!
now it's very very silly indeed ...... down 180 and 380 respectively

WERE GONNA CRASH! WERE GONNA CRASH! WERE GONNA CRASH!!!! LOL!!!!

Not too healthy.

Thanks BB, how you doing?

not so well as you stan :))

Schoolboy error.

Got fılled on FTSE 100 LONG set up 3 weeks ago.

One I forgot to close.

What a dummy.

You never know Claret it might just work out for you ,maybe a bounce today.

it wouldn't surprise me at all .... in fact, DOW was all over the place last night, recovering nearly 200 points (i think) from its low
