ASX/CommSec - Advancing in Macquarie MINIs

In constantly shifting markets identifying trends and trading over the short term has become increasingly challenging. For traders looking to profit from short term market movements whilst limiting losses MINIs provide a simple alternative to other trading products. MINIs provide 1 for 1 exposure to the market for a fraction of the cost and are one of the most effective ways to hedge or protect your investment portfolio in uncertain markets.

This ASX session will cover how investors can use MINIs to effectively protect their portfolios as well as take advantage of movements in an asset in either direction through a range of strategies. We will also look at charting techniques that can be used to identify trends and form a particular view.

What can you expect to get out of this session?

  • Overview of the basics of MINIs
  • Understanding more complex mechanics of MINIs (market making, index futures roll overs)
  • How to select a MINI for your strategy
  • Equity and Index trading strategies
  • Charting techniques to assist investors in identifying trends
  • Using MINIs as a hedging tool to protect portfolios
