Due to the expected low volumes I've not entered any new major swing trades this Week or spent much time analysing new ones due to the fake moves common with this low volume end of year Week. As much of the Week was spent Day Trading I hope you liked the trades I've detailed over the last few posts. So, a quick update on previously taken Swing Trades:

As you will know by now, in view of the low volumes and erratic price movements across many Index's I've decided to concentrate on a little day trading during this week. As it's now after hours and price can pretty much do it's own thing, I've just entered a small stake buying FTSE at this

Update to last night's DOW trading map. 4 hourly produced a bearish engulfing from my 12,322 line so the line definitely has validity. The 50 MA and 100 MA both reside at support and this is an area to keep an eye on if the selling continues:

In General the Week ended with results appearing to be positive but after removing day trading figures the end result was relatively weak on paper.

DAX	S&P 500

Dollar Index	VIX

Crude Oil	GOLD	NASDAQ COMPX	SILVER

Miners	Oil & Gas producers	BANKS	TechMark 100

NIKKEI 225	HANG SENG	NON LIFE INSURANCE	GENERAL RETAILERS
