Correct ASX 200 is the Share Price Index.
SPI
I do trade Futures on the SPI however I trade them
off an option i.e I buy a deep in the money put and then buy a futures of
that.
It is safer and for me better then a
stop.
As for the TA/FA debate.
Warren Buffet is the Richest Fundamental trader in
the world. However it took him 15 years to earn his first Million and another 15
years to earn 30 Billion.
WD Gann earned $50 Million in 1929 ( 500 Million
Now ) with only TA
Larry Williams is one of the richest TA Traders it
took him 1 Week to earn his first Million.
Dan Zanger ( chartpattern.com ) Turned $11,000 into
$42 Million in 23 months a return of ( 164,000% )
Neither use any fundamentals and since I do not
have 30 years to spare I will keep my money on these Three.

Woody,
The SPI would be the ASX SPI 200, ?, Why would yoy trade a
option as opposed to a future on the SPI ?, and I understand that with the
upgrading of the mini contract SPI 50 ASX this will lend a true international
flavour to this future market.Has this happened yet.
I might just mention to all who dont know, Shares magazine (aussie) is very
good and has a lot of education effective to all markets, it is avilable in
most bookstores of any substance and has a section on investment leverage
called "Leverage" believe it or not.
Do you trade shares at all ?.
Regards
Morgy
