HSI Futures trading

If I have to. Like today when I spent all morning fighting it. Luckily there was a bit doing and got back all my morning wrongs. Lucky bugger today.

I checked HSI out with that Korean monster the KOPSI 200 man o man in a league of there own... I think it's safer to stick with FX :eek:

what I noticed most was how violent the gaps can be on the KOPSI. Would be great trying to price them into your MM plan.

You can get a lot of business done in a few hours. Today 340 ticks down in the morning then 130 up and back down in the arvo. All in 4 & 3/4 hours. Lovely stuff. FX is for people who want to chase trades 24hrs. I'll take the compressed action of an index any day . :)

You talking over night gaps? They are of no concern to this little punter. :D

Great movements, the Kopsi is where I want to end up once I have a 250K account to trade!

It is for some idiots out there..... like you I like to concentrate on a set block.

Yeah I was going OK in the arvo session, then the last 15-20 minutes really killed me, was all rangey and I kept getting chopped, didn't get onto the morning session though :(
 
Anyone know why Kospi isn't trading today? I looked at the calendar on the KSE website, but its as clear as mud for me.

If you want to dip your toe in you could have a look at the oppies. Hugely liquid marke much smaller size per tick , 1/5th of the fut about $5.
 
Anyone see yesterdays open? What a great index to trade. Made the daily high and low within the first two minutes! 304 tick apart. lol!!!!

NUTZZZZZ:eek:
 
lol, I wouldn't have a clue how you are meant to trade that

Yeah its actually pretty frustrating seeing that size move. I was short on the open. Got half stopped out, scratched the rest. then re-entered on 1/4 size, couldn't get a fill. Then before I could get a fill on the rest and move my bracket order out they hit it with 4000 lot sweep!! I made 31 ticks x a few contracts on a 300 tick move. Grr.

Another one that got away.

Todays open I was short and got out seconds before the sweep up. :eek: Phewwww :eek::):(
 
lol nice ya lucky bugger! :eek: :D

I got a nice short on that move down yesterday after the initial spasm on the open, that was crazy :eek:

...but good :D

I reckon they are not that unpredictable. If we have been in a range for long enough, like all of last week, you know there is going to be plenty of stops just outside that. And you know that they are fair game for the big dicks to go after - why not try and join in ;)
