How can you have taken 50 points on S&P from a short at 735? the lowest the S&P has been since 735 is 728. Perhaps you mean ticks, but that is still only 28 ticks to the extreme low.

S+P trades in 10ths? prob meant sold @ 735 bought back for 5 points = 5x10ths =50 ticks??
I guess that's what he did. My SB company trades S&P in 10ths as well.

What's the symbol for S&P on advfn. I'm a subscribed user and having difficult finding it.
ive put the search in for it and it produced IN\X S&P 500 Index but theres no live data there, its dead.
Look forward to you replies

yes that is what i mean Minime, you are correct
I trade CFD's with CMC , 1 contract = £10 for every S&P point
5 points = 50 points = £50
I trade on average 2-3 contracts
but because i was trying to average in a short position as you can never pick a top or bottom
I sold @ 730 and 735
but i bought the S&P back at 730 to close 1 contract that was in profit of 5 points=50 points in reality as per my broker!!

WOW what a rally............never take anything for granted in this market!!
I was thinking 760 was impossible........trade what you see not what you think!!
still holding 1 contract on S&P from 730..............stop loss 760!!
I will have to re do all my analysis, I just didn't account for S&P going up this much!
I was blinded by the obsession of the downside
I have heard volume was low and who on earth is buying!!
Oh well at least my barclays position will give me a good reward tomorrow, see yesterday s post at 10.17am , post no 359 for the chart explaining reasons for going long

It's the same as happened last week just in reverse.
Hit's highs/lows, trend players get in , goes further triggering stops which pushes it further triggering more stops etc etc etc
