Trading World Stock Markets

In the UK, many investors like to trade the movement of the FTSE 100. Looking more closely it appears that the sellers are still waiting for the blowout move to the upside that might signal the final exhaustion move. Since March 2009 the moves higher have all been of the slow-grind-higher variety. The biggest daily move higher has barely beaten 120 points.

For those who have been convinced that doom is only just around the corner the lack of any real drama is beginning to chip away at their convictions. Many of the market comments these days are for ‘more of the same’, as opposed to the almost universal bearishness that has gone hand in hand with the eight month rally.

Naturally the major world markets influence each other and, in Asia, intervention from the Japanese is becoming more and more likely. The Yen’s appreciation continues to cause damage to their big exporters.

The result is further weakness for the Nikkei 225 which has substantially underperformed in the last couple of months.

The 2009 Dubai Debt Crisis saw swift selling in the world stock markets. However, many markets recouped much of their losses from the crisis within 7-10 days. There were particularly strong and quick moves from Asian markets such as the Nikkei and the Australian index.

US markets like the UK’s FTSE 100 have generally been grinding higher and Range Trading, ie speculating on markets to constantly move up and down has been order of the day for many investors.

The most common feature of all the stock markets since mid-2009, apart from the slow move higher has been the occulting nature of the markets. Good news has been followed by poor data which has been produced buying opportunities for investors. Bad news has then been followed by a good corporate reporting season and so on.

All this has given anyone trading the ranges plenty of volatility.

You can trade the ranges through CFD and spread bets. There are no broker’s fees on spread bets and so it naturally lends itself investors who want to trade a number of positions over a short period of time.

Other key benefits of spread betting include that fact that some companies even let you trade the popular Indices and Currency markets throughout the night. The global stock exchanges and futures floors may close but you do not have to stop trading.

A good number of financial spread betting companies also provide their clients with a wealth of free data. For example, investors can get Heat Maps that highlight which markets are going up / down. Sometimes there is technical analysis to accompany the many candlestick charts that are available.

Before you trade though, note that spread bets carry a high level of risk to your capital and you can lose more than you invest. Only speculate with funds you can afford to lose. Like the adverts say, before trading, please ensure that spread betting matches your investment requirements. Familiarise yourself with the risks involved. Seek independent advice where necessary.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Shortterm trading refers to those trading strategies in stock market or futures market in which the time duration between entry and exit is within a range of few days to few weeks. There are two main school of thoughts: day trading and trend following. In finance, a trading strategy (see also trading system) is a predefined set of rules for making trading decisions. Traders, investment firms and fund managers use a trading strategy to help make wiser investment decisions and help eliminate the emotional aspect of trading. A trading strategy is governed by a set of rules that do not deviate. Emotional bias is eliminated because the systems operate within the parameters known by the trader. The parameters can be trusted based on historical analysis (backtesting) and real world market studies (forward testing), so that the trader can have confidence in the strategy and its operating characteristics.
