Check out this move on the nikkei this morning gentlemen! Whilst our market has been a bit tough to read this morning(well for me anyway), there have been some ripper opportunities elsewhere

prof do you trade it? ... what other markets do you monitor/trade?

yeah I trade it. Currently only trade the nikkei and the SPI. Keep an eye on the hang seng, Kospi and STW, but don't trade those at this stage.

The hang seng I'm a little scared of, so it will prob be a while before I get stuck into that one

These are special days that my expert professor trading guru give me at the start of the year. They have the word week in front of them.

These "weekdays" occur between Monday and Friday, and there is usually alot of trading activity

Love the satire Professor!


You almost made me spill my tea this morning. Lucky I had a saucer!

Very funny parody, most amusing.

Glad you liked it Mag! Maybe this internet thing should come with a warning-

"May contain traces of nuts, who make silly comments that can cause you to spill your tea"

I had that problem the first time I tried using it. I was using firefox at the time, I switched it over to IE and it worked fine. Today, I had it fired up with firefox and it was good. It might just be a bit buggy

I'm not sure that you can go back and see. Maybe Joe might be able to tell you.

I use IB. Apart from a couple of minor problems with getting used to their platform when I first started, I have no complaints about them at all.

Hello Doc,

I just opened a account with IG, they don't charge any commission to trade indexes just a spread.
You can trade mini contracts as well at $5 a point.
Also a free dealing platform with Live prices !

bob-so does this mean when you are trading the SFE SPI you are trading a different spread than the actual SPI spread??
