Dow Index

Guest MrJake

Well this is my first real post and it turns out to be a request

 

I use the spreadbetting part of IG for indices, in particular Wall Street

 

Previously, IG would include the Dow in their "Levels to Watch" article each day, this has now been replaced with the S&P 500.

 

How can I encourage IG to comment on this index again?

Hi Mr Jakes,

 

There is a suggestions section on the main community page where you can communicate directly with IG people and the rest of the users.

 

Also there is an active US markets thread where the Dow is discussed regularly.  As an FYI, we had a discussion on the merits of the Dow vs the S&P500 in which people seemed to prefer the S&P because it is the biggest market and much more diverse than the DOW (30 large caps only).  See also a Thread on the Russell 2000 small cap market as a trend setter.

 

When you explore the community threads and actively participate in the discussions I think you will get a lot of benefit on your chosen markets.  If no one is talking about something you are interested in then start and thread and see if it generates any interest,

 

Good luck and welcome,

 

Mercury

Hi Mercury

 

Thanks for such a prompt response

 

I did see the suggestions section, however I thought that was more for amendments to the trading platform than the various education and tips articles

 

With regard to the US Markets thread I will wander over there and have a look.

 

Thanks for all your help

 

Regards

This fall below major resistance  may trigger a further fall

 

You need just support resistance indicators  , to watch these levels

Hi oilfxpro

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

This drop has earned me a few pounds and I am looking for a further drop

 

I am learning more about alerts and the variuos tools available to us and I hope to take advantage of those when I know more

 

Thanks again

You can draw your own levels on pro real time

 

If you use mt4  , you can have these tools made   for around   $500

 

The ready made ones   are not good  

 

My own set of custom tools  cost   $5,000     (It saves 1 hours daily and energy   or  250 hours a year)

 

or get some free ones  on the net  for mt4

The free ones are ok  , but  you need more accurate  and reliable  tools   for drawings

This is showing the dow is in bullish mode. Will try and post a chart when this changes to bearish. This helps in getting an idea of where the index is heading generally.

    • Dow, Nasdaq 100 and Nikkei 225 all fall back after hawkish Fed decision The Fed’s ‘hawkish pause’ has sent markets into a tailspin, with stocks falling as investors contemplate the prospect of a much longer period of higher interest rates in the US. Source: Bloomberg  Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 21 September 2023 11:43 Dow slumps following Fed decision The index saw a substantial reversal yesterday, and has moved back towards the lows of last week. The 100-day SMA could now provide some support, but below this the 34,000 level and the 200-day SMA could also see some buying emerge. A revival above 35,000 would be needed to secure a more bullish short-term view. Source:ProRealTime Nasdaq 100 gives back more gains Losses continue here, with yesterday’s drop further eating into the gains made from the August lows. The price is currently sitting on the 100-day SMA, and a close below this opens the way in short order to 14,690. Below this the August low at 14,500 comes into view. From here, the next major level to watch would be the August 2022 high at 13,722. A rally above 15,300 would be needed to suggest that the buyers have succeeded in reasserting control. Source:ProRealTime Nikkei 225 sees further losses The drift lower of earlier in the week has turned into a more dramatic move lower. This has put the sellers back in control. Below the 50- and 100-day SMAs, the price then moves on to target 32,076, and then to the August low at 31,295. Buyers will want to see a move back above 33,000 to suggest that the selling has been halted for the time being. Source:ProRealTime
    • Brent crude oil, gold and natural gas prices drop post hawkish Fed pause Outlook on Brent crude oil, gold and natural following Fed’s hawkish pause. Source: Bloomberg  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 21 September 2023 11:27 Brent crude oil comes off its ten-month high The price of Brent crude oil continues to come off Tuesday’s ten-month high at $94.97 while the US dollar once more appreciates, exerting a slight downward pressure on the oil price, and as the Fed delivered a hawkish pause. Support can be spotted around the $90.97 early September high ahead of the psychological $90.00 mark. Resistance lurks around Tuesday’s $93.32 low. Further up lies this week’s ten-month high at $94.97 and the mid-September 2022 high at $95.19. Source: ProRealTime Gold comes off yesterday’s $1,947 high Gold rallied back towards its $1,953 per troy ounce early September high but only managed to reach $1,947 before it came off again as the greenback continued to appreciate following hawkish comments at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,925 is currently being probed as support, below which the 6 September low at $1,915 may also act as minor support. Minor resistance above the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,932 sits at Tuesday’s $1,937 high. Source: ProRealTime Natural gas comes off this week’s six-week high Natural gas prices recently shot back up to the $3.000 mark on weather and production concerns but are currently slipping back from this week’s high at $3.021. A slip through Wednesday’s $2.857 low would put Monday’s low and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2.800 to $2.791 on the map. Immediate resistance is seen at the early September high at $2.904 ahead of last and this week’s highs at $2.973 to $3.021. Slightly further up sits the August peak at $3.050. Source: ProRealTime
