    Why didn't the Wongs buy options?

    Im interested in seeing whether the fact that all the evidence appears to be circumstantial will be enough to convict them of a crime. It should be borne in mind that technically they committed no crime in purchasing the shares. Inferences and allegations are one thing but without hard evidence...

    Overnight Swap cost

    Does anybody have experience with what IB's forex charges to hold overnight positions? The overnight swap with my broker is two full pips at times. On top of the spread. What is the rate per 100k at IB for overnight holding cost? Anybody know?

    Asian Nikkei

    Sorry scrath that question I didnt notice your reply. Yeah this is a winner then. I like the idea of trading this and then trading europe after. Right now im looking at eurostoxx 50. The biggest problem is that IB's demo makes the spreads look unnattractive but im pretty sure thats a quirk of...

    Asian Nikkei

    Is the spread usually one or two ticks through IB for SGXNK? Coz two ticks will make it very tough too make money intraday since it represents 10 basis points or 50 dollars. If however I can find a broker where the spread is always one tick 5 points then I thinks its a great product to trade.Im...

    Asian Nikkei

    Kiwi trader. Do you trade sgxnk nikkei? How do you find IB pricing? Is the spread almost always 1 tick (5points)? or is it often 2 ticks. I say this because in my opinion that spread should be almost universally 1 tick. If it is then its tradeable. However the idea of being reamed for 10 basis...

    IB demo spreads

    Seriously you should see the demo. It just isnt right. For example it will show 10 points or two ticks spread on the SGXNK nikkei and yet the last sale prints will be 2-3 points either side of the bid ask. If im mistaken please correct me but thats not good at all. Basically the spread there...

    IB demo spreads

    Im just opening an account with I.B. However in their demo it appears that the spread is artificially widened by one tick on the asian and australian indexes. It is clearly obvious from watching the last sale prints that the spread is actually a full tick wider than the inside bid/offer should...

    Food prices to soar worldwide

    Fortunately the higher beta in commodities should mean higher profits in commodities like gold and oil for traders meaning only the poor will be worse off.

    I LOVE the HSI futs!

    Im just about to open an account with IB. However I checked the demo and noticed that the spread on the demo for the full size HSI futures was around 5 Hang Seng points. Is this usual? I was under the impression the spread was a single index point but that it whipped around a lot because of this...

    I LOVE the HSI futs!

    Thanks. Yeah I like these 2 markets and have basically worked out that I can probably trade the SMI swiss index just after asia closes. It seems like a pretty decent market also

    I LOVE the HSI futs!

    Can someone please comment on liquidity in MHI mini hang seng. Is it viable to swing trade intraday? Im looking at asia and would prefer to start with the mini hang seng mhi than sgx nikkei but am unsure about liquidity. Whats the usual size per price on MHI? Anyone?
