yes they can, in fact you can even trade them on low time frames. For me it’s 2 minutes. Check it with your broker, it’ll be a good deal if he offers low spreads for trading indices.

Are there more risks with indices?

‘Stable returns’ is an enticing feature no doubt but let’s not assume all the index funds are cheap. The management costs of the two funds may vary despite the same investment goal. Your long term returns can take a big hit even from the minutest fee inflation.There are no rules as such but yes, swings are not crazy with indices like in stocks or currencies, so can give off more stable returns if traded right.
Yeah that’s why I dig up the broker’s fund lineup with the screening tools.yes they can, in fact you can even trade them on low time frames. For me it’s 2 minutes. Check it with your broker, it’ll be a good deal if he offers low spreads for trading indices.
Yeah, stop loss definitely works when trading and the stop order very easily closes a trader’s position if things are not going well. Even a limit order helps and honestly I’ve been using these for some time to protect myself.Idk I haven’t had much experience in that area but if you can just use stop loss, you might end up saving yourself from any loss.
I have been watching the market for 15+ year. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Every indicators show we'll be getting a 6% GDP this year (USA). So bond yield rising is normal, as that's the way a healthy economy should be.
But the market is falling due to the bond yield. Now I don't want to short the market when we are expecting GDP 6%. But at the same time, I am losing $ at Nasdaq stock as everything is falling, eventhough old econ. stock doesn't fall as much.
The only thing I can think of is stay away from the market for the next few mth., and some CNBC commentator said the market will done its consolidation by end of June
P.S. how do I get en email on any reply to this thread?

Exactly! I’ve been trying to perfect how to go about my stop loss for weeks now and I could really use some change of platform at this point.Yeah, stop loss definitely works when trading and the stop order very easily closes a trader’s position if things are not going well.

Stop loss can be a powerful tool for saving your trades and there are no such rules for placing the sl. It entirely depends on you and your risk tolerance. If you’re going for a short position, you can use a stop-buy order. Try to look at some videos and read a bit about it first. I keep using sl for my trades and It recently saved me from incurring losses on price action with Fxview and I also used ATR indicator to be on the safer side. Also used the trailing stop loss with IG and I must say there was some improvement on my chart.Exactly!
