anyone out there palying the indexes and using spreadbetting
can we concentrate on:
djia
ftse100
cac40
dax

lets see what entry and exit signals we can come up with using
gann
rsi
to see if we can predict profitable trades and concentrate on stop losses etc
love to hear from you all
zarif

chaps..
just closed out at long from 9261 - closed out at 9335...

:-)

zarif...I dont have to close out per day, as I trade CFD's...

j99,

very well done....

Mega...

Snoball/mega/zarif...I'm learning from you guys...

Do u follow dow on a real time chart...and which website intra day is best for analysis?

j99,

do you use stop losses on the dow?

Mega...

megB, this is my second day on the indices,,,was about to today as I was out...in the end went in my favour...I an only doing $5/10 A point which with margin I am able to cover , with the market at prsent it could go 200 either way...before a recovery intraday at some point...

Monitoring at present gone long again $5 a point from 9320...I'm looking to make..between 100-450 from each hold...which suits me fine at the moment...if in the last hour market closes above 3320 say 3340 I may leave open, in case it opens on a positive note tmor...

I learnt today not to become too freindly or emotionally attached with indices...if theres a profit and u want it then bank it...tomorrows another day to jump in..

ta.

jules,

most of the move down today was due to the futures falling overnight.
if you don't have a stop loss on overnight you could get royally banjaxed.
be careful and keep up the good work.

Mega Bucks gave us a real time Dow link either on here on the Dow thread
a few days ago.
If I find it I will post it here later.

Royally banjaxd...I like that...lol..

Just gone long again $5 apoint from 9283 to hopefully cover and close the earlier position to 9320. hopefully it gets to 9310+ in which case it's still a profit...

How do think ftse will open am positive ?...and also the DAX...?

and what are the point levels to watch?

jules,

here is the Real Time Dow (and others)

I hesitate to suggest any levels. You're doing alright on your own. :-)

snoball that is excellent..!!!!!!!

thank you very much...

Re dow real time link
please note do not investigate the site to much or be nosey it was cut and pasted to me from some one i was warned,just use it as that page.....no there are no virus,s or nasties just something a woman should not see....:-)

You have been warned....

Mega..

I bet you have a peep:-)

MegaB...funny I clicked earlier on quotes and this ad came up...with yes/no...clicked NO...of course, in fact gettin tired of pop ups lately...now that you mentioned it tried to check out the other, nice joke...

lol..

Jules 99.

J99

when you get the chart up set the time to 1 minute and you should be ok....

Hope it is of some help ...

Rick...

Ended day with 2 long positions at $5- 9283 and $5-9320 hopefully DOW is positive on opening tmorrow...9350 would be good be atreat again...

I think I will keep all indice trading at these leveles until I find some kind of method or strategy.

On CFD's have nevr done a shorting as yet..in my life...I hope the day I do that it is with good precision...

may try it tmorr on DOW if it reaches 9350...though one never knows...


Signal watch is also a good site...

Ta.

Jules99.

off to bed just got back from the gym..
see you all tomorrow...

Rick...

morning all...hoping to see dow start strong...

trading range today...any thoughts...?

jules99

DOW futures Expected to open UP :-))))

hope 9350 is hit intra day...after which may go short or watch...

Excellent start to day...$ 10 up from 9283 and 9323...DOW 9335 now...

could turn out a good day overall..

Do you know how the Dow is calculated ? If so, I doubt you would bother trading it ... why don't you look at something like the S+P ? Either hedge funds are stupid or just know something you guys don't !

Regards,

M.

if it makes u happy...

Dear Magician:
Many thanks your comment regarding the dow. Why Do you think that the dow is a"muppets" index and give us your reasons for not trading it. I find it quite good and volatile enough to trade compared to the likes of Ftse which is too docile for me.
Your suggestion of trading the SP500 - Okay give us your suggested entry and exit levels and what are its volatility and motility (momentum)?? I always thought s+p and Nasdaq trailed with the DJia.
Anyway we have an open mind to all trades and are in it to make money and have fun at the same time and "dont fall in love with any share or index".
Look forward to hearing from you.
Ps: are you Spreadbetting or Cfd Man.
