open & close are good times to be involved with SPI in my opinion Canaussieuck, definitely worth following them for a while, especially the gap opens - if you can be around for US close as it often sets up a good gap for Aus open. I stuck a link up about gap opens on S&P the other day, think it was on this thread, worth having a read of that, same principles apply for SPI

chart looks dodgy TI. SPI didn't get anywhere near the lows of the 4th last night.

did you have a stop that was taken out by that spike TI, or could it have been an error in their charts?

I was actually trading the USD/JAP pair with IG last week when i got one of these spikes over my stop, but it did nothing, like it never happened.

It could just be a data error in their charts.
I wouldn't worry about it too much Trade It, happens a lot with the UK CFD & spreadbet co's - usually its dodgy data and if you had a trade on that was stopped out or if you tried to long that drop they'd rewind it.
but having said that those spikes have an uncanny knack of playing out! so we could be in for some action soon

spoke to IG,
the problem was with IT finance (charting company) not at there end.
they told me not to worry as their price never did that so there would have been no impact on any trade I had open.
good trading guys

How wide will it get, should the market become [more] volatile...?????

Not to worry Ed, you got a piece and that's the important part
Current SPI chart below- can't say I can find much of a reason to be long right now. About the most bullish thing I can find on the chart is that we are at a pretty important S/R area. 6000 is becoming a key pivot area, price action wise, as well as being a key psychological level.
