HSI Futures trading

[nomore4s]

Thanks very much Broadway, really appreciate your taking the time. Yes, my chart session settings were wrong so thanks for confirming.

One follow up question if I may -

1. What data feed do you use for K200 futures/options? I'm finding IB unreliable and eSignal doesn't supply Korean futures data as yet - so am lost for a K200 data feed.

Thanks again, Pauley.

I have no problems with my feed from IB for K200, what are the issues you are having?

Thanks for confirming that nomore4s. TH says the same and suggests it's my IB TWS config so will investigate that. I have a support ticket in with them now.

Will report back what I learn for others. Thanks again. Cheers. Pauley.

PS: For those looking at alternatives to using IB's BookTrader I can highly recommend ZeroLineTrader > zerolinetrader.com

Only $120 per year and add some nice features that BookTrader doesn't have so worth the small outlay I find.

I've also used BracketTrader which again has more features than BookTrader and costs around $100 once-off from memory > bracket-trader.com

I use ZeroLineTrader daily now as it has a much cleaner interface and a few more features than BracketTrader.

IB is fine for the k200, it must be your personal settings.
IB is my data feed for all my futures/stocks/bonds/currencies/stocks/etfs, gives k200 well.
I link IB with sierra charting program to show the k200 and lots of others in real time. I dont use the charts that come with IB, too crappy.
Dont know about options.
Remember IB closes on the weekend.

Thanks again Broadway, much appreciate you confirming all that information that for me.

I'll give IB data a run on my TradeStation charting platform and skip eSignal for now given plenty here have no troubles with it. Cheers. Paul.

Was there any news during the lunch break?

It feels real as the moves seem to be worldwide? Short might be the right way to go imo.

Actually I bought the arvo open and got in a world of pain on that nasty stop sweep right as I entered on the first bar, about 5:30:15, Worst trade of the year!!

Then flipped on the roll over and did my best trade of the year. LOL lucky son of a B!tch.

Haha good work.

Couldn't trade the arvo session today, looks like I missed a bit of fun

Boy Oh Boy!

Some serious gentlemen getting some business done again today. Guess not surprising considering this set up.

Is that a h&s setup you're talking about TH, or am I way off the mark?? Target would be somewhere around 21000...

 

[Trembling Hand]

All I know about a H & S setup is that the thread on ASF about H & S setup trading had a 16% win rate.

I was more talking about the failure to follow other markets up during Dec and nearly 3 months of support just a hand full of points away after yesterdays games.

Very Serious gentleman at play today. Maybe it was Grinch. Enjoy that Santa rally!

Wondering what other work they can do to other indexes?

So if support is broken then potentially the target below looks 21800ish? from early August & mid Sep?? or 22400ish from late Sep??

Most likely it will rally from here back into the old range. But the shorts are safe this year on this index. Real game to be played out at a later date IMO.

Anyone else getting cr@py Booktrader Data from IB?
