Today's Pivots

  1. I just don't find it very useful at all to use volume in the S&P futures or Bond futures when I am trading intra-day.

    Sure, I was on the floor too, and as a local you could see the volume trade at various prices . . . Yet, I think that because of the synthetic and secondary nature of the S&P futures to the actual cash market SPX, it really doesn't give you the kind of information that it would in a Primary commodity market like in Beans, Corn, Wheat, etc.

  2. I agree: volume is secondary to price.

  3. Thanks Waggie,

    I can see how that might be less useful in the S&P with all the hedging, etc.

    Appreciate your response!

    Here's a site that gives weekly and monthly pivots for the various futures. I think it was Scientist who first posted this here. If nothing else, it's a good way of double checking your own calculations.
