I use volume as part of my decisions process, and all these block trades that do not hit bids/asks bother me. I would like to understand who executes them, and can they somehow be separated from trades that do hit bids/asks. I have downloaded break down for Friday's activity from KRX...

One of the issues that I had back in 07 was when I upgraded to Java 6. I reverted back to latest version of 5 at the time, and never had any issues since then.

I have the same combination IB + Ninja. 2gb ram on xp professional. No issue at all.

Jeff, I also do not care what news says. I only care about important news like NFP for examples, when it is best to stay out of market few min before and after the news are released. Thanks, redduke

Hi Jfilla, Thanks a lot for this info. I trade with market orders, and once I up the size would be interesting to see how many I can trade without slippage. Are there any regular news besides the ones mentioned earlier that make this market volatile? Thanks, redduke

A bit less, with today exchange rate it is about $17. I am very exited about this market. For those who need to trade US evening hours it is a great option. I am considering switching to it from trading DAX.

During the first several hours yesterday the depth was a bit thinner than for the most of last week, double digits on each level and I have even seen single digits from time to time. This resulted immediately in higher volatility or vs obviously. I guess something to pay attention to.

I definitely will study it. Planning to paper trade and observe it for at least 1 month. Then will start with 1 contract. I also have some data. I have most of February in ticks. If someone needs it, I can post it here, when zipped the file is about 1.5 mb.

Daily tick range % when compared to settlement price is around 2.9% for March 09, contact since 12/12/2008 until yesterday.

Excellent news on the trade size. I see that the book is deep, but seeing it and actually trading this size is 2 different things of course. Are you trading it? If yes, what is the max size you ever traded if you do not mind me asking. Is it every third Thursday of each month? Thanks, redduke

Thanks for the info. I am not too worried about block trades, but there just so many of them. They distort tape a bit. Do you how they get executed? I found few reference to Automated Block Trading Network(K-BloX), but not sure what it means. Unexpected news such as missile launch...

IB is the only one that I know off to have access to this market for US traders. What usual corporate/economic news are there besides Tankan?

Hi All, As most of you know CFTC allowed since November, 2008 to trade South Korea KOSPI 200 futures contract by US residents. This contract is trade on KRX (http://eng.krx.co.kr/index.html). This thread is to help us learn about this contract. Here are few specifics: The margin...

Hi ProfLogic, If you do not mind, please let me know about this venue. I have not fished for years. Thanks, redduke

I went to Linda Raschke presentation and she briefly mentioned it, saying the hopefullynit will not happen. I also spoke with someone who knows many from ag community, and they are lobbying against it. Also Ice rep confirmed that they are lobbying against it, and it has very little...

Hi Surf and Anna, Thanks a lot for organizing the meet up. It was great. Wish you could have stayed longer. It is always great to talk to other traders. And putting faces to ET alias is nice as well. Regards, Redduke

There is a very little chance that they were not involved. However, what I do not understand why he did not flee rather than turning himself in. My only guess is that he stole money from some many people across the world that US is the safest place for him. Is not not amazing, you...

I am planning to do this for sure.

You are wrong. If this tax goes through, they would make US citizens pay regardless which exchange you trade at.

I would not say it was too obvious. I liked the book, too bad Chuck Heys turned out to be a fraud.
