Trading The SPI - NON-Gann Techniques

chops_a_must · 23 January 2008

Through yesterday's swing high.

The gap fill to the downside looking really nice you would think... if there weren't extenuating circumstances around.

If it does, like I said earlier... this is going to be awful.

A lot of big caps trying to roll.

hi there any one ,just a question ,im demoing sonray trading platform and they have no facilities for market order ,they said for trading the spi there is no way to have one ,trying to use there platform if wanting to get out im finding if doesnt execute on the first go one then has to keep amending order ,then in process of doing that price runs away and keep amending order ,it is very annoying ,Is this the same for all future platforms or do others have market orders allowed ,thanx Nathan

That's dodgy as my friend. Try IB or BrokerOne. much better and cheaper

thanx for that trembling hand ,yes i thought was dodgy as to ,there platform is free but just one dodgy trade i cant get out of any where near i want certainly pays for that .I do have an account with broker one but commission higher and charge for platfrom ,but get what one pays for i guess ,ib def cheapest but bit concerned if things go wrong ,theres noone to ring .Nathan

With IB you can ring a sydney number that transfers you to Hong Kong. trading desk. Ive used it no prob.

Hi Nat,

have you had a look at City Index they are a point either side of the last trade on the SFE on the SPI, so 2 point spread only cost.

Trade from $1 on SPI, I have a small account to get charts on the SPI (only average charts but useful).

I believe you can open an account without funds if you just want to watch.

hi macca thanx for that do city index have volume on there spi charts .So is it a cfd of the spi ?Im currently using the ig markets for trading i dont mind there charts but they dont have volume .Also the 2 point spread is annoying as with the futures a lot of times is only 1 point .But i figure if i can succeed on the cfds then hopefully go alright on the futres except for quanities of money playing havoc with my pysche.Tried futures a year ago but relised pretty quick im out of my league but think am ready to give it another go.Nathan

The CFD index trading on a intraday basis suck. Getting over that spread every trade knocks your expectancy around big time. It's not a brokerage free trade by a long shot.
Of course the $25 tick on the SPI can be a bit much to learn on.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to get a longer backfill on 1 min data from IB?

bloody pc has given me grief this week

the whole bitch is broken - ended up losing most of my recent 1min data on the spi

if anyone is willing to share I need the data for Dec 07, Mar 08 exp. I have 10+ years EOD data if someone wants to trade

Here is the 1 min data. Its the day and overnight sessions. No guarantee that its not without gaps

Got to find the Dec 07 stuff later.
