The futs instrument itself attracts a bit of volume, about 4 times the spi for example, but the underling index only has 45 or so stocks in it, back of the envelope calculation its about 20% of the market Cap of the ASX200. So the fundamentals of the index is relatively thin. Therefore it moves more like a high priced stock than an Index.
Plus yes also the condensed trading time without any overnight trading helps to create an action packed session.
Ya might want to have a look also at STW (Taiwan out of SGX) and the Kospi.
May not be longInto hosipltal on Wed for a minor 4 hour heart operation!!!!! The rewards of a life time of daily exercise!! irony!
Sorry to hear that TH.
I'm guessing adrenaline over-production is the culprit?
Don't worry M8, only the good die young .... and you are one bad mother:
All the best. Hope it goes well on Wednesday .....
Well I did survive. Just wondering if I should of asked the doc when he said no exercise or anything too strenuous for a month does that include not being short full clip at the bottom when the market goes full tilt up in a few seconds,
LOL that tested the ticker!!!! :freak3:
Do you prefer trading the the Mini-HSI (MHI) or the HSI. I looked at the contract size of the mini HSI and it's around ($30KAUD) which is 1/4th the SPI, while the HSI is around (90K).
Is there a name for this type of trading i.e. multiple contracts. I tried this with the FTSE as it fluctuates a lot and had better results than trading 1 contract.Also if your only trading 1 HSI contract you would probably be better off trading 3-5 MHI in some regards as its very hard to trade 1 contract. Your either in or out with 1 contract, not able to take a little profit and let the rest run for an outlier.

Because there is no volume. And I guess the buckshops have that market coveredWhy doesn't SNFE have a mini SPI with smaller tick sizes like the FTSE and HSI.
Go to,I am having problems with the Booktrader in IB for MHI because the tick sizes are small you can't see the exit and stop orders. I have to use the chart to adjust these.
Configure>Booktrader>Setting>Options> "Number of rows to display"
I have mine at 90.
Sweet this is what I was looking for.
I am baffled by the divergence between the MHI futures and HSI index sometimes you see, I have not seen anything like it on the SPI or the FTSE.
Is there a reason for these?
Think you're looking at the cash Index rather than the HSI futs.
That's what I wish to look at, to see if there is any divergence betwwen HSI (calc index) and MHI futures.

I thought that would happen but it didn't, it kept going down.You can bet mostly that the Index will come down, or up, to meet the Futs.
Are there more bots on the HSI futures than the SPI?Pretty thin stock market.
Another thing the volume has been down the last two days. Looks like a a bots gone walk-about (hopefully its cr@pped itself) .
