learner2007

Been reading some of your posts. Very informative. Been thinking of getting into day trading in Japan. Look forward to reading more.

Learner, do you where I can get min data for the Mini Nikkei ? I just ordered data from JPX Data Cloud and they said it would be 7 business days, with the holidays that is looking like ~May 16. Any advice ?

I saw your post about no news reports during market hours when trading Nikkei futures except for the monthly BoJ report. I am just starting out and I am wondering which BoJ report moves the market? Thanks

learn2007, please PM me your contact information and inquiry so we at Trading Technologies can respond. Thanks

By the way I really like to travel to Japan, have went to Japan many times, just went Okinawa but not much lucky since bad weather most of the time while I stayed, but good foods and still a relaxing trip.

I plan to use IB to totally automatic trade since I cannot manually control myself to cut lose in day trade future. I still cannot find a good way to determine when a trends start and when there is no trend. May you share your thought? Thanks.

but then I basically don't use any graphical TA and just use math indicator stuff with tested variables that I see ok result from historical backtest through vba in excel.

Hey learner2007, I can tell you have been trading in Japan for decades, and sound like you made a great living from trading! I have read some of your replies and sound like you mainly focus on TA. I have learn most of the common TA and even Elliott wave.

Hey it is been a while. How are you doing with day trading futures lately? I just wanted to ask your thoughts on the soon-to-be listed JPX-Nikkei 400 index futures later this month. The contract size looks good to small traders and the same tick size as Nikkei really made me interested. What are your thoughts on the new futures contract? Would you want to trade it? I hope it does not become another Mini Topix lol

I meant active stocks that are close to completing one of the trader's set ups.
