andread, Successful traders will always tell you to stick with your trading plan/method no matter what. But the difference between them and you is they have a plan/method that they have refined over many years, and has been proven to work. Your plan/method, on the other hand, being a newbie...

Dan, 7:45pm - the cash market opens @ 8:00pm.

jayford, One perculiarity of both these markets that you won't encounter in other markets ....., they both close for lunch - how very civilised! Eating is serious business in Asia. In my experience the Nikkei tends not to gap after lunch but the Hang Seng often does. Enjoy!

Jayford, I assume you are daytrading? I personally prefer the Nikkei 225. It trends very nicely intraday, with volume being a key driver of price. If you are an experienced trader I think you will find it a pleasure to trade. The Hang Seng on the other hand is quite frenetic. It is a...

I want to keep this thread alive for another day or two. Any other interested parties?

Simex, I will offer my support to your forum and I have no intention of creating anything even remotely similar. Why would I? I'm talking about starting a closed group of Hang Seng and Nikkei traders who communicate real-time via an IM (or similar), posting trades or charts, swapping ideas etc.

SpyderTrader, They're not doves, Iran is showcasing their latest secret weapons technology - ICBP's. InterContinental Ballistic Pigeons! A stroke of genius. Notice the absence of any flat vertical surfaces - cutting edge stealth design! Completely undetectable by radar. Pigeons have a...

Thanks for your interest guys. Anybody else?

Segv, I did specifically use the term "prop desk". Anybody who has been professionally involved in this industry for a while will know exactly what I'm talking about. Hope this is clear.

To anybodys knowledge, is there a real-time forum (chatroom, IM, ICQ etc) for Asian futures (Nikkei 225, Hang Seng etc) traders that I can participate in? I'm interested in sharing views and ideas, posting trades etc with other serious traders during Asian market hours. Please PM the details...

nana, Exactly right! Prop=proprietary capital.

Load_the_boat, Prop desks generally will not profit from the amount of volume you're doing. They are however interested in showing regular trading profits - they have bosess to please and targets to hit like every other business. They are less likely to be less interested in a trader/style that...

load_the_boat, For an individual trader looking to capitalise on their trading skills starting a hedge fund is probably the worst option. Running a hedge fund more about managing a business than it is about trading. If you have a profitable trading method and a decent track record your...

dac8555, $10mil is probably not sufficient AUM to make a fund worthwhile. It takes about 6 months and $US100K - $250K to establish a offshore fund in somewhere like the Caymans. On top of this you'll need to consider the following: 1. Marketing in the US will likely require a Delaware...

nicholaf, Institutional allocators, FOFs, pension funds etc build portfolios with allocations to a diverse range of asset classes and strategies. At any given point in time some asset classes and strategies are likely to be out of style. Such is the nature of managing a diversified...
