Re: S&P overnights...

Hi Bill,

Globex is trading when other world markets are open. If there are strong
moves in the Australian and Asian markets then it is not uncommon for us to
jump onto Globex S & P to catch that market before it opens for day trading.
I presume the people in Europe and the UK do the same.

The same happens on our night market the SPI. When the Dow had that 357
point drop our market dropped 98 points overnight to 2452. Opened in the
morning at 2460 and finished the day at 2501. The underlying cash market
however fell 44 points during the day but the SPI  rose 49 points - tough
trading the bloody thing on pure futures. The only way I go now is with
options and set myself up for the cyclical moves.

Regards,
Dick.
