Learn to Trade Emini Futures - What Is Spread Betting?

Spread Betting is is a leveraged tool that gives investors the opportunity to trade the financial markets without ever taking physical ownership of the underlying instrument. It's quite huge in the UK as they pay no tax on their gains. It's also illegal for a U.S. citizen to open a Spread Betting account.

How did I, a humble Emini Futures Trader gain such intimate knowledge of the subject?

Learn to Trade Emini Futures - The Golden Cross

Today in the S&P500 we witnessed an occurrence akin to spotting a bald eagle which only happens once in a blue moon or so - The Golden Cross!

THE GOLDEN CROSS 

The "Golden Cross" aside from being the polar opposite of its evil twin the "Death Cross" is best described as follows:

On a daily chart of the S&P 500 (SPX.X)($SPX) the 50 period Simple Moving Average crosses above the 200 period Simple Moving Average.

Learn to Trade Emini Futures - Dynamic Support And Resistance

The Emini S&P500 Futures traded inside a 15 point range today giving traders opportunity both on the long and short side of market. The Euro was down significantly today on poor employment news.

The S&P 500 Emini Futures resumed the rally that began yesterday after the FOMC statement. High of the day today was 1329.75 or just 1 tick short of our highest Weekly Tading Zone @ 1330/1331. Partners were given this number before the market opened Monday morning. We do not expect the week to close above that zone.
