Hi mate and welcome to the South African club. Unfortunately the index has been range bound over the last few days. Do you want to trade the South African cash index?
I would start with the R2 mini contract until you get the hang of it. IG also offers a demo account in which you can trade the index to get some practice.
Unfortunately, trading the index can be very risky without having typed stop losses.
I would wait for the payroll numbers today out of the United States before trading the index.
As much as trading the index maybe risky, if you get it correct it can reward you handsomely.
What would be very nice is if we as South Africans can have a WhatsApp group or something so that we can quickly give ideas on trading. I am not sure whether this comment is allowed on this platform. I apologise in advance if I have over stepped the mark here.
