Trading The SPI - NON-Gann Techniques

[acouch]

afternoon nat..

time frames are similar to frank's, i have had this software since
1999, and i can tell you it isn't a easy software to handle..
frank was a front runner on this ,that is for sure, and deserves the
credit for bringing it to the front..

re volume charts, the spi works very well on a 50 volume chart,
also a 10 tic chart,for scalping.. if you have them on your software,to use.
hope this is of some help

'xcuse my ignorance, but what is a 50 volume chart?
I'm guessing it makes a new bar for every 50 contracts traded (and so filters out time)?

thanks for the chart ac
seems like a good idea in some ways.. it just shows up price movements and not worrying about how long they take

do the charts get affected by crossings?

Greetings All

I'm moving away from using the ASX300 stocks as a shooting gallery and concentrating now on 1 or 3, whilst also looking to trade the SPI and ES.

I have been following the posts here for awhile and appreciate the different methods discussed on trading the SPI, my current flavour of the month is a simple Donchian channel with divergence which works well when it trends a little.

Todays SPI 3min chart had a few good divergence trades IMHO.

Good morning,

this is the 8th chart in the series of the eod chart.
as you can see marked, that the 4734 was tested on sycom on
the 15th July at 4735..
i have also added a new no to be aware of..3936...as the year moves along,
we will see if it comes into fruition..but it is strong resistance as was the 4735
on sycom..and as it will be on the daily..
have a great day

HI guys, first post but I been reading the thread for a while now - great reading for a semi novice like myself. I have to throw one out to you guys to see if someone can help one of my friends with an exit plan. He has beeen in a pickle with some CFD aussie 200 contracts for a couple of months and trying to manage them has proven very difficult. I can't think of an exit without taking a helathy loss, so maybe you guys can. Here's the situation :
CFD $25 contracts
LONG -5849
LONG- 5272
SHORT X2 - 4860

The 4860 contract was cover as he was going to fall into margin. The 5849 long he was happy to hold onto thinking the 200 was only going to fall to 5300 or so. Capital spare is around $3000. I can't think of an exit without him taking a possible 15k loss. Can anyone put any further light on an exit strategy? I realise there are some "cluey" guys on the site like Euler, TH, AC etc, any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers

hi Crez,.. if you are reading this...

What did you end up doing? You were thinking of closing out the shorts... ... your speculation that the SPI will go higher hasn't come to fruition... infact it's looking like it's about to make new lows soon!
