Freddy I said:Hi All,
As I mentioned previously I am a bit of newbie when it comes to the SPI and I have a question for you all regarding a (fairly basic) strategy I'm trying.
If close is at 5550
I'd put a buy order in at 5560 and a conditional sell order in at 5570
I would also put a sell order in at 5540 and a conditional buy order in at 5530.
I would leave these overnight.
The theory being that a movement in either direction is likley to be >10 points.
This has worked well for me several times in the past however I do understand that there is significant risk in that if the market moves past my buy price (ie 5560) but not past my sell price (ie 5570) then I am left exposed.
I also realise that my gain is generally limited to 10 points (20 if there is a large amount of volatility) , whereas my loss is unlimited.
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions ?
And as I said im fairly new to trading indexes so pls be kind !

Very pleased that you have stayed with us.
How did you go with the "Pivot Points" Freddy I ?
The original 'Trading the SPI' had some useful info.
As well as the formula to work them out.
Todays Daily Pivot points are:
R3 5735
R2 5717
R1 5686
PP 5668
S1 5637
S2 5619
S3 5588
Just out of curiosity, how did yesterday's 'pivot points' work out? cheers.Bronte said:Todays Pivot Points:

On 3 day basis it has now broadened further. The value sitting on the mid 5720's. The 40's are good and 63 sits well. Beyond that will be a waiting game for me.professor_frink said:morning Euler,
all time highs made over night, should be an interesting open. Will be watching 5741/42, the 58-63 area and 5780 for trading today
very good-that lines up with what I'm seeing well. Always nice when that happensEuler said:On 3 day basis it has now broadened further. The value sitting on the mid 5720's. The 40's are good and 63 sits well. Beyond that will be a waiting game for me.
