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

that's quite brave jimmy
forgot it was a holiday in germany so Dax doing nothing and Dow looking to weaken only a tad

Brave or silly , we'll find out later ,i'm around evens at the moment ,i shorted when it took a big spike up this morning.

FTSE too high now... a short is only logical.

except that markets are never logical :-)

the argument against is that FTSE has now firmly breached the 6955 resistance

I'm about 20 pts to the good .with the DOW falling i may get a little more .

FTSE will be down tomorrow below 6900.

money with mouth?
FTSE currently sitting very close to the day's high at 6987

7000 early doors FTSE 100

Good move this morning. Not far off all time high again

DAX
having trouble breaking 10,580 barrier ..... if it sneaks towards it again and you are alert, may be a time to short

Close FTSE short yesterday ,ended up a 12 point loss from being in front , opened again just now , can't keep going up forever .

And still it goes up ..

Good call hlyeo98 (post 21000) let us know when you are bullish, he says jokingly.
2517

It will go down... the macro economy is not healthy.

I believe the EU will be the catalyst to give markets a shock. There Banks are on same trajectory as UK circa 2007

Just my thoughts as a regular to Deutschland and beyond

Looks like normal service has resumed. Ftse listening to the Dow (for now) anyway.

Going to drop below 7000 soon.

My shorts doing well now .
