Hello, Gary, the moving averages are very useful IMHO. But they get the bad rap due to their misusage by many traders. You can find good examples of proper usage of MAs on both CME website, under training section, and also at the trading naked website, labeled under, "The floor trader method"...

Hi, CHACHA420, Just follow the QT symbols format: Exchange: OSE.JPN Symbol: JNM Expiry Month: U7 So you would enter: OSE.JPN:@JNMU7 As for IB's TWS: N225M You may have to create a time template for OSE for QT charts. Let me know, if you need further help. Schaefer

Thank you sir :) Schaefer

Learner2007, Thank you for your knowledgeable contributions. One quick question, has there been problems with the OSE, during heavy trading, like halts, crashes, etc.? And when that happens, what do you use to hedge? Thank you, Schaefer

Care to elaborate? I've been watching it for 3 nights already, and I didn't see any problems. Schaefer Edit: Then again, I don't have another data feed to compare with :(

Yep, it was almost seamless last night. Here's the chart from last night. Schaefer

Learner, thanks for the chart. I've been watching it, the last 2 nights. You're right, the ATR is not that great, I guess that's why a lot of participants do size. It's definitely tradable with my style though :) Schaefer

Hi gaijin2006, yes, you have to expand it first, then print. I think the browser is shrinking the picture to fit inside the browser window. Schaefer

Hi, Learner, thank you for tip regarding the Hong Kong server. I've been with IB for over 2 years, and I didn't know we could do that. Yeah, that server rest at midnight is annoying, I'll give them a call and ask. OSE evening session, that'll be 3:30am to 6:00am (Eastern Time). I'll have to...

Hi TS, I don't position trade, or hold anything overnight. Schaefer

N225 Mini daily chart. Definitely not holding anything overnight. Schaefer

Hi, TradEstar, there's nothing wrong with that product. But we are looking for an instrument to trade during the evening hours (Eastern Time). Schaefer

Hi, Learner2007, it's good to know that, you have first hand experience with the Mini. What's your opinion on the Mini? I was looking at the daily chart, and it's definitely scary to hold it over night. The openings, and closings are all over the place :) Schaefer

No. 22, thanks for digging that up for us. It looks very promising for a product that was launched only a year, or so ago. Schaefer

Here's tonight's action on a fast scalping chart :) Schaefer

Hi, thanks for the info, No. 22. That's even better, almost as same as YM. But margin is way cheaper than YM. Schaefer

Hi Kiwi, yes, but it moves in 5 tick increments. So I was trying to clarify, whether it is 500 Yen, or 2500 Yen. Schaefer

Hey, Oso, how are ya? Thanks for the suggestions. As of right now, I'm going to have to stay away from the European market hours. I'm looking more at the Asian market hours (8pm to 2am, Eastern time). And N225 Mini seems to be the ticket. It starts at 8pm, stops for lunch at 10pm, restarts at...

Thanks for everyone who have replied. Here's a snap shot of the N225 Mini. There's plenty of liquidity there, and she moves :D Kiwi: I'll check the trading hours, and the associated margins for all of them. I'm looking to trade between 8pm thru 1 to 2am (Eastern time). Def: Thanks for the...

Hi, I'm talking about the Nikkei 225 Mini on the Osaka exchange. I've been trading the Euro futures during the European market hours, but my work schedule has changed, and I'm looking for an alternative to trade during the late evening hours. Hang Seng, the regular Nikkei225, and the one...
