FTSE 100 Forum Discussions

As expected having a buffoon in the White House means lot of volatility. Tariffs are always a bad idea (er....see WW2) but when fighting inflation that is right out of the Lizz Truss- Enoch Powell think tank school of idiocy.
Absolutely, and with volatility brings wonderful earnings potential!
always best trgt +91.. 6263.2O.84.31
always best trgt +91.. 6263.2O.84.31
got stopped even on remainder long and went short at 75 wth macds breaking down and trend line off lower high holding. had a good week so swill leave this set ti even and see what happens
lower high 161% fib here at 43. below this, retest of some major trend lines, 15minute 200ma and next fib at 615.
low frame structure change, 1 and 4hr chart very bullish still.
This ridiculous boom has burst with Trump tariffs.
Last trading day of the month and week usually sees a sell off.
The stock market dropped the moment the Trump tariffs were announced. The cause is obvious.
the kong got closed even on US open. just missed tp. long again 8666. more cautius though has got a lower high and low.
taken half this off +10 pips
testing a possible lower high short at 8676 as the oscilators arent aggressive
rubbish trade. still too bullish. closed - a few and went long again
closed one of the longs for 9 pips.
thats still a 5minute higher low
david price closed the other for +9 too
From a fundamental perspective, the market was ig.nitrf by better than expected inflation data in the US, fuell.ing hopes for interest rate cuts. With Trump back in p0wer, there’s optimism for positive geopolitical developments.
This likely boosted market sentiment and could be att.racting new m.0ne.y.
Parabolic move - 15th Jan. Watch out for a consolidation phase to confirm market is settling. It’s better to wait for a high quality set.up than to trade out of FOMO.

just missed me by a couple of pips that high.
stopped break evem on the longs. gone again 8666 and 8667
if 55/60 breaks and confirms a lower high, with a negative macd i will look for shorts into higher time frame support
Morning All
closed half the long for +15 pips.
added another long 8678
tp 8698 for both.
GM100 to open flat rise and hold above 8684 sees 8705/8725 hold above here is 8739 loss of 8639 sees 8621 and 8612/8600 trade the range GL
morning. long from 8662. 5min moving averages caught up to price so a little more cautious with longs
targets above retest high then 8700
1st support below is 8645/50 area. retest low and 15min 100ma. no confirmed lower high yet to get any fib numbers
stopped even on remainder of the long
What is this super rally about. Why is FTSE shooting sky high for.
TA wise, there was a bull flag on the weekly chart. last major swing low was off major support (retest of precious resistance) and since then 90% of the time every time frame has been printing higher highs and lows. so theres a huge amount of bullish momentum.
cant tell you a fundamental reason as i have no clue. i only follow the chart.
went long at 8665
half +15.
what trading platform do yiu use
if wont let me post my answer
which trading platforms are people using for FTSE 100
Most people here use IG but there are others like City Index, CMC Markets, Capital. Those are good for spread betting, but some will also be trading it as a leveraged ETF in an ISA / SIPP or dealing account - you can do that with companies like HL, AJ Bell, Fidelity etc.
Looks like the end of World War 8 is being priced in, along with the rate cuts that are due for 2041 and the election of the 54th POTUS (who I hear is very market friendly / anti-regulation).
Dude just stop. You are looking pathetic. Learn from your mistakes and move on like a grown-up.
had another long earlier closed at 8640 once my fib broke and my short got stopped -6. now got a couple of shorts on here just testing the higher high.
Closed rest of longs @8648 from 8546 looking to short on lower high
nice work
Anyone who thinks this isn't manipulated needs their head checking.
Alex Browning so why go against those who move it. much easier to go with them
Who says I have a position? Do you think the price action of late is normal? It's gone up over 650 points in just over a month. And no one can explain why. It's a circus.
ElCid you are only saying it was 'ill judged' in hindsight. How were you to know the big boys would do a short squeeze in order to transfer money from retail's pockets into their own? This is 100 per cent market abuse.
currently long and looking for 8631
short 8614.
