FTSE 100 February

same ending though?? time cycles is something I need to look into. alot of 3 eaving going on. I find it easier to just count the
3 waves:)

Btw Tom H has put an interesting US chart up but agreed not to
show it outside TT so worth having a look
 
£/$ seems to have it a 5th of something but impossible to count the whole sequence from the bottom.

that may influence things over the next day or two.

don't follow Tom ; and don't want to

there are enough misleading influences around as it is.

edit
sorry if that sounded a bit grumpy
but these guys are all a waste of time (and effort)
and there seem to be a plethora of them wandering the internet
and he is only one. And they are nearly all selling something.

LOL Bonsai

here's my last chart of the week. Wasn't all plain sailing. got suckered into a short at first failure at 411 but got out asap and made it back when I actually paid attention to the signals:)

understand

it really is all about having a system to believe in ?

and trusting yourself to support the system.

because it's not you that's trading, it's your system that is.

so we must not get in the way of it.


right, I'm off too.
 
mine isnt a system yet or should I say "the" system but its improving. Less false starts larger profits etc.

have agood one.

ending thought:- we now have 3 gaps 1 dow 2 up.
 
despite the 'disappointing' performance of ftse over the last few days, we may have found some sort of support now ?

here is an update of my chart .

I am told that the late bounce on friday is bullish as the pros control the close.

but it could be just another old wives tale.

certainly a break of the fan line would have to be considered bearish.

Strong candle on Friday but a bit of a retreat as that resistance
area hove into view. The pattern of the week as a whole has a
positive air about it but there is that resistance area to conquer?

ps: lost 4 & 3 :( but went on to salvage the back nine :)

pps: did you notice coppock passed 0 at the end of the year. So
long term followers will have stopped buying the market??

What do users of this thread think of the FTSE250 as indicator for the 100's direction? The 250 could hardly be more positive at the moment but I haven't used watched it sufficiently in the past to draw a conclusion.
 
tomorton

Mully keeps the 250 under close scrutiny and will probably
comment in due course.
 
Team, I'm off site this week as it is half-term
and therefore I have to do my bit to entertain the children etc.
So postings will be reduced.

Re FTSE250. It is a reflection of midcap stocks
and therefore it says nothing about the FTSE100
with it weightings in defensive Pharmaceuticals,
Oils or Financials.


Unlike the FTSE100, the FTSE250 is more cyclical
in exposure (technology, industrials) and, therefore,
a much more accurate indicator of the "reflation play"
that is currently pushing global markets higher.
Note its better fit with overseas indexes compared
to the FTSE100.

As such, I use the index as an indicator
as to when to play cyclical stocks
such as SPT, ARM, RR, BAY, ICI etc.

I do not use it as an indicator of the FTSE100. That is what the FTSE100 is for!!!!

However, when I want to play oils, pharms or Financials stocks
I use the FTSE100 as the appropriate yardstick.

Hope that helps.
 
This was in their e-mail
Does it make sense to you ?

Monday 16th February (Presidents Day):

NDAQ100 ceases trading at 16:30 and resumes trading at 23:30
SPX500 ceases trading at 16:30 and resumes trading at 23:30
US30 closed all day
UK100 ceases trading at 17:30
GERMAN30 ceases trading at 19:00
 
well globex closes at 10.30am US time so I guess that covers
the spx but not sure about Ndaq??? Dow futs are traded at CBOT???? which is closed all day.
FTSE will finish at 5.30 because there will be no US price to peg it against. then at 11.30 uk i,e 5.30 US globex starts trading agin. Seems ok to me..... i think
