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

i'm out too

missed getting back in DOW (short), but with hindsight, no bad thing as it would have been easy to have got singed as it's currently only -30 after -100

DOW
has broken solidly below 18,470 and is currently testing 18,425
it's had a couple of sniffs but recovered, though not entirely so indication is for further south

Pre Market Apple wıll help out DOW today to the upsıde ıt appears.

DOW
i see it's taken something of an unexpected hit while i've been out since midday
it needs to recover above 18,430 and to stay there after the close if things are not start looking rather unpleasant

both Alphabet and Amazon posted strong results with both shares comfortably ahead after results announced
should augur well for tomorrow, though DOW has yet to reflect this

an interesting comment from IG analyst, though he is very far from being as good as warren firth in days of old .....



Indices pull back following BoJ disappointment. However, given that we have not seen any reversal signals from price action, there is a good chance we will see markets recover before long.

FTSE weakness brings us into Fibonacci support
The FTSE has turned lower this morning, following on from a disappointing Bank of Japan meeting. While price has broken through trendline support, we are yet to break out of this rally, with an hourly close below 6663 required to signal a potential wider sell-off for the index.

U.S. Economy Grew a Less-Than-Forecast 1.2% in Second Quarter

cash DOW not happy, but not impossible that that will reverse as interest rate rise potentially pushed back .... who knows?

have just taken a small DAX short at 10,342 ...... possibly a bit late in the day, but it's looking quite wobbly

I took a FTSE short this morning ,just closed . Every morning it's up above 6750 and always comes off.

markets should be heading south, but with such microscopic yields on bonds and the like, shares are the obvious alternative for the ever-growing pension funds and similar

FTSE seen down after Wall St, Asia falls
London equities are seen lower following a softer Wall St. Crude prices fell on global glut concerns, while disappointment about Japan's stimulus package affected Asian markets, but did see the yen high
