S&P500 - Analysis and Trading

Re: S&P 500

Just got a nice little move down, shorted @917.50 - out @ 913.50.
Lets see what happens now....912....908... who knows ;)
 
Re: S&P 500

Seems hell bent on trying to break 923/24, failing everytime though, its just broken through again see if it can hold it this time....expecting a weak session tonight, but who knows, anything can happen. :) Just as long as something does actually happen. :banghead:
 
Re: S&P 500

Yeah, bounced straight back up from 912, did you or anyone else have any positions? How long you been trading it moxjo?

Yeah I got on and took a few bites.... and then went to bed. Have only started trading it in the last few weeks. Just getting a feel for it atm with small positions and trading intra only. So far so good. For me trading the various index's $hits on the other forms of trading due to the volume (order always being filled) and low commissions. Not having to worry about company announcements etc is also a plus.

I prefer trading the open, but might have to start trading the close due to sleep requirements.

Yeah couldn't agree more, I prefer the indexes over stocks too. I prefer trading the open too, its getting a bit late though some nights, turn into an owl soon :eek:

Mind you, I'm much better at staying up at night than I am at getting up early in the morning :D
 
Re: S&P 500

Big move down last night on the open, they were messing with peoples heads in the beginning, massive mark ups and downs, I noticed some weakness before the cash open and thought it might go down, there seemed to be more selling leading up to the open than there was buying, alot of whipsawing, locking people in etc

I didn't enter any positions, could have entered prior to the open and caught a 10 or so point move down. Ah well, another day, another play. :)

Is anyone interested or reading this at all? I can stop if people are sick of me raving on :D I am mostly doing it as a personal thoughts logger type deal.

Anyway, good trading to you all :)

Keep the thread going, gives me a quick run down. I have been a bit pushed for time this week to trade much.
 
Re: S&P 500

From what I can tell, it seems as though there MIGHT be some accumulation going on, couple of big vol spikes coming in now, its back up to where we were last night though, up around 922-924 seems to be res again, need to wait and see though, wait for something more obvious, I don't want to say anything concrete as I think its pointless trying to predict what the market is going to do, anything can happen, I am just observing whats happening NOW and seeing if I can spot anything.

res @ 922-24ish
sup @ 910-12ish

10 mins till open....whip it! whip it goooood!

Anyone else, feel free to add to this thread, go ya hardest ;)
 
Re: S&P 500

That base on base action soon came to an end.
 
Re: S&P 500

Indeed they must have had some interest in the upside, nice move up on the open, broken through 924 now, whether it can stay up there is another thing. :)
