Index Trading for the Global Trader : Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Index Trading for the Global Trader Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management One market view can represent hundreds of companies, multiple sectors and an entire economic narrative. “An index is more than a number on a screen. It is a constantly changing picture of collective expectations.” When traders look at an index such as the NIFTY 50, S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, DAX or Nikkei 225, they are not simply looking at one company. An index represents a basket or methodology designed to measure a particular segment of a market. Its movement can therefore reflect changes in corporate earnings expectations, interest rates, economic data, investor sentiment, sector performance and global risk appetite.

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Emotional Strength The Courage to Feel, Understand and Respond Emotional strength is not becoming cold. It is learning how to experience powerful emotions without allowing them to control the direction of your life. “Being strong does not mean feeling less. It means learning how to carry what you feel.” Every human being experiences emotions. Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disappointment, love, jealousy, loneliness, excitement and hope are all part of the human experience.
