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

DAX
i know i'm up very early today ..... watch out as indications are that DAX will open firmly below the important 11,950 support

alleged reason via FT ....
Markets hit by biggest fall since Trump election
Uncertainty over effort to revamp healthcare fuels concerns about pro-business agenda

DOW
banked modest short profit as level indicates there may be some support

No reaction to the incedent at Westminster.

no reason for there to be one

You still on the source?

not even at the source of the sauce ....... why?

.. I'm not pepaired to speculate.

DOW - gone long 20,629 ...... logic - support at 20,610 had been holding pretty solidly for some time

though DOW closed -60, it is worth noting that the critical 20,610 level held

Parachutes for sale!

not necessarily required

DAX making a charge for 12,100
it augurs well if that gets smashed, especially before london close

Any idea what the epic is for the Dax cynic on MAM charts?

good question ..... not off hand

Anybody?

Cannot find it Chris.

No worries, don't trade it personally.
