UK100 CFD

FTSE 100 Long Term Long, Dividend Yield > Financing The FTSE 100 is in a "bullish price channel" as it has a positive slope with the upper trend line marking resistance and lower trend line marking support. We are long the FTSE 100 and the dividend yield for 2019 should be close to 5% which provides positive income for holding the position even through a leveraged product that incurs financing charges (ie: a CFD or spreadbet). The financing for a leveraged FTSE 100 position is calculated as (Benchmark+spread)*daycount*market value Eg: (0.8185%+2.5%)*(1/365)*7450= 68p per day financing charge on a position of notional value GBP 7,450. This is using the benchmark rate at of GBP 3 month libor of 0.81850% as at the 05.04.19 and a spread of 2.5%. Therefore holding the position could currently yield around 1.7% (5% dividend yield – 3.3% benchmark + spread). This is evidently not much but useful in building a long term long position and it is important to understand how financing is calculated as well as how it can impact returns. Additionally, a further potential drop in GBPUSD due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit could see further upside for the index. This is because such a large proportion of profits for FTSE 100 companies is made in dollars. If sterling weakens then dollar revenues, once converted back into sterling, are worth more.

UK100 Double Top On the UK100 1hr chart we can see a double top. I must say that this trade is for educational purposes since I don't spot this pattern that much. The RSI, Volume and Price is lower at the second top which means the interest is cooling down. The stop is placed at the last high or if you trade safe a little above. To get better at spotting this patterns I'm publishing it here so you and I can both look back at this trade the next time spotting this pattern. Thanks for reading and especially on this one I would appreciate some feedback! Wesley

SELL YOUR HOUSE AND GO LONG hahaYou can see from our support line ( green line ) that this is a VERY strong level that price has bounced of many times, Price has also bounced off this level this week and we can see a run up to our resistance zone ( green box ) Of course surrounding Brexit and businesses not knowing how the deal or no deal will affect them and trading then you have to be cautious trading the FTSE 100 as this is comprised of 100 companies listed on the London stock exchange with the highest market capitalisation, So any laws that stop these businesses earning will drastically affect the FTSE 100 price. We suggest trading this with a very tight SL, but we can see this been a very nice opportunity to go long and make some decent money. p.s don't actually sell your house you moron ;p

All aboard the MONEY TRAIN... next stop CASHVILLEWe can see a trend line ( blue line ) that has been respected recently ( price coming down to touch it then bouncing ) And price has also been respecting our support/ resistance line ( green line ) you can also see this from where price has touched and bounced. Price is currently at this level and is testing it as support, now we think price will bounce and make a bullish run.... our reason for this is because the current candle that closed on Friday was a nice bearish candle, but it also had a longish lower shadow, this means that bears tried to push price bellow support but failed and bulls pushed price back above and closed above key support. Also on the monthly chart price is forming a bullish candle after the past couple of months candles have also been bullish, this indicates a lot of buying power, and also on the 4H chart price is also respecting this level. So you can ignore setups like this if you want or you can join me aboard the money train on a 1 way trip to cashville.

UK100 approaching resistance, potential drop! UK100 is approaching our first resistance at 7183 (100% fibonacci extension, 61.8% fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing high resistance) and a strong drop might occur pushing price down to our major support at 6922 (100% fibonacci extension, 38.2% fibonacci retracement). Stochastic (89, 5, 3) is also approaching resistance and we might see a corresponding drop in price should it react off this level. Trading CFDs on margin carries high risk.
