Thank you. Apologize for the question, what is the DIA ?

Indices like the HSI or other european stock indexes can open with significant gaps. The DJI on the other side tend to open close to the previous day's close. Is this because the DJI index uses previous days' close for those stocks that haven't traded yet on the open ? Thank you. (in...

Thanks. The reason why I'm asking is because I am a correlation structurer in a bank, we do receive runs from our index and tranches traders about once an hour, and we consider this as quite good already, so I would have been delighted to get something really realtime, especially in jumpy days...

are you sure it's real time ?

Okay, I agree, we could call this "partial hedge" for instance, or position reduction as you say, right ? So, as said Joab, and in my very humble opinion from someone who doesn't trade options, why not simply sell half your position when you want to reduce it, rather than buy options ...

I am not an option trader. I thought that the purpose of hedging a position was to square it. Yet you're seeking to "stay in the position". Isn't there a contradiction ?

Steve, I closed my HK IB account when I joined a bank a few years ago, in order to comply with local regulations. I am considering leaving my company and open my account with you again. I believe IB now allows us to trade bonds. Does IB allow you to trade these eurobonds from chinese...

I think proper training and infrastructure may have to do with the success of some traders. The reason why I'm saying this is because as far as I'm concerned I've done all my career in IB (3 in total) and I am fairly confident that more than 5% of the traders around me are making money lol...

Olivier, thanks a lot for your answer. I went through the links your gave me and from one link to another, I seem to be able to confirm one thing: I'm not the only one wondering what's the status of full time traders in France ! The regulator isn't absolutely clear. I'm sending you a PM.

Ho ok sorry. This might be where the confusion lies may be.

Sorry what is EL ?

I thought I heard something like after a lawsuit TS8 had fallen in the public domain or something along those lines, I cant remember exactly what the story was, and I could very well be mistaken. Can someone clarify ? Thanks.

I'm French but have been living all my career in Asia. For family reasons I am considering going back to France. What is your status for you guys who trade in France ? TNS ? (travailleur non salarie) TI ? (travailleur independant) I'm asking as this is fairly important to clear the...

I've had an account with Core Pacific Yamaichi for 10 years, and super happy with them. http://www.cpy.com.hk/index_en.htm You can open an account as a non-resident, contact me by PM if you want the contact details of the lady who takes care of me there. I also had an account with...

Also, I assume you're running on their HK server right ?...
