Hi @LeonardoJoaquim
Your thread is titled S&P500 and you have posted a 1min SP500 Oanda chart. I would like to ask you why you have selected this instrument and not a forex instrument?

Do you already have experience of this market? It is not necessarily the best choice for others if they are beginners. The price movements are wide and the margins are higher than with forex.

The SP500 does offer huge potential for profits in the current environment, but that also equates with a high risk of substantial losses, too. Bearing in mind that price can often swing 50-100 points in a few seconds.

Does the fact that you posted a 1min chart mean that you are interested in scalping-type trading during selected trading hours? If so, then I guess technical set-ups are far more relevant that determining the overall trend or analysing fundamental issues - especially in the current economic uncertainty?

What kind of trading are you considering in terms of timeframes and methodology (TA and FA)?

PS: I am not personally familiar with Oanda as a broker, but I recall that one can open very small positions with them, even less than 1microlot?

Hello Manxx!
In this case, only those interested in investing in S & P500 or in future markets come to this conversation. I like future markets more because they are easier to profit and have less risk of loss.
Yes they are right in the part where I put the graph in 1 minute. But I usually use 15m graphics | 5 m | 1 m and 1 hour to identify the trend.
Here we could debate the news daily and how the market would be doing to help each other. Now the way each one uses the chart, it already depends on the personality of each one and how they like it.
Thank you for your observation!

That is certainly sensible considering what kind of market the SP500 is, but I suspect the interest here will be limited because BP is primarily a forex site and targetted at beginners in particular. But let’s see! :+1:

Thank you for the invite! If I can think of anything worth contributing along the way then I will add it.

At the present, I feel that the SP500, like most markets when in a panic state, had overdone the downside and has now quite swiftly corrected that by retracing 50% of that fall since end February. But I remain unconvinced that we are seeing a “V” shaped return straight back to the previous highs.

But it is interesting that the stock markets in the US are climbing at the same time as the impact of coronavirus is also still climbing. That would seem to suggest that, as always, the markets are already looking beyond the present and feeding on the more positive hopes for tomorrow.

There will inevitably be a lot of positive hype from the US President and government about lifting restrictions and getting the country back to work, but that is not, I think, going to happen so very quickly.

As a result, I think we are going to see some very volatile movements in both directions in the near term and I believe the best approach right now is, as you say, trading from short term charts like 1H-15m combinations.

I hope you will attract some attention from other, more qualified traders here, but I have bookmarked your thread and will follow what happens here! Good luck! :grinning:

Actually more interesting than technical analyzis is the fact, that sp500 is pushed heavily upward by uncle Jerome and his friends, inspite horrifying fundamental news. Many experienced traders slipped on that instrument so far, cause most of them thought it must go down.
Since the Corona outbreak trading indizes (CFD) is more interesting cause of more “pips-speed”. One strategy, which returned me allready profit, is to speculate on wide weekend-gaps SP500. Whereas before Corona weekend gaps where quite moderate, (gaps in generall), recent weekends were much better. I am curious whats gonna happening today- i am in a straddle, and dont care which direction SP500 will gap. And its also clear, that more sooner than later SP500 will fall again cause uncle Jeromes market-pushing cant last for ever. So having some options short in the depot is a must. But generally speaking, in that volatil situation, where just one tweed of Donald or anybody else news could push the index limit up or down in a second, with straddle like positions someone is on the safer side.

Nice to see some intelligent, creative thinking! Well done! :+1: Matching strategies to market characteristics is what it is all about.

I assume you are talking about long puts and not short calls here?

Thanks for your help! Because the Topic’s name is so weak I will change it to S & P500 and Futures Markets.
Whenever you can help us here in the daily market analysis and news that may affect.
My aim is that this topic helps people to be able to do day trade mainly in future markets.
I mainly observe the:

  • WIN1 -mini
    -NQ1 -mini
    -NS1 -mini

Thank you so!
I wanted to create a group on Facebook or Telegram to make communication on this topic easier. If you are interested in help, I will be happy to speak with you.

Thank you for your participation!
I will change the name of the topic to S & P500 and future markets like:

-WIN1 -mini
-NQ1 -mini
-NS1 -min

Which are the ones I watch.
If you can help with daily market and news analysis for this topic, feel free!
The goal is to profit from the day trade in these markets, which you can do perfectly.

Today the market is closed again.
But I have a question to ask.
Say all the reliable brokers who know that you can invest in these markets like:

-WIN1 -mini
-NQ1 -mini
-NS1 -mini

Thank you!

Are you asking about Nasdaq, Nikkei and, it seems, the Brazilian Bovespa when your thread is about ES1?

I limit my brokerage to one main company and one other, and only trade SP500 as cfd’s as part of my overall index/commodities/spot forex mix. Maybe not the most effective or cheapest way compared with futures direct but it suits me best to have all my exposure under one roof, as it were.

I have been with the same main broker for many years and it would take a serious problem to make me even consider changing, so I can’t help with this question! :slight_smile:

  • Since the last photo I posted, I followed with the essence of being able to graph up or down. However it was down I got to (104 euros) profit but I thought it would break that bottom bottom again, however I waited and it didn’t break so I stayed with (82 euros).

  • At the moment it is on a bullish trend. But what do they say?
    Have you analyzed anything?
    The news or technically or the fundamentals.

The market was lower this morning but was not looking overly weak. My 4H chart was still mildly positive and so there was a good chance that US would take it up to at least last Friday’s close, which is also around the 50% retracement of the total down move around 2790 I decided to buy…

…just closed out for +281 points and will probably leave it at that for today.
