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.

A single sentence spoken in anger can stay in someone's mind for years. A careless comment can damage confidence. An unfair accusation can create anger. A cruel remark can make us question ourselves. When someone wrongly says harmful or insulting things about us, our first instinct may be to respond immediately. We may want to argue, expose the person, return the insult, or make them feel the ...
