Strategy of Trading UKX100 Index

UKX100 represents relative market movement of the top 1 hundred stocks in the United Kingdom. In general the share size value of the top 1 hundred corporations will keep moving upwards, therefore this index will also over time keep moving upwards. Should a company not meet required business growth targets, the company will be removed from the index and replaced with another company that has better growth prospects.

As a trader wanting to trade this index, general direction at any one time will be more bullish than bearish. This is because as long as the 100 companies being tracked are doing booming business, then their share value will keep heading upwards, & therefore this index will also keep moving in an upwards trend.

As a trader you want to be biased & keep buying as the stock index moves upwards. When UK economy is doing good (most times it's performing good) this upward trend is more likely to be in-favor. A good stock indices trade strategy would be to buy dips.

During Economic Slow-Down and Recession

During economic slow-down & recession times, companies begin to report lower profits & lower growth prospects. It is due to this reason that traders begin to sell stocks of companies which are recording & reporting lower profits & therefore stock index keeping track of these particular given stocks also will start to head & go downwards.

Hence, during these times index trends are much more likely to be moving down and as a trader you should also adjust your trading strategy accordingly to fit the prevailing downwards trends of the stock market index that you are trading.
