It is kinda weird. There was a delay in opening by 1 hour on November 12th, due to nation wide examination. Winder if this is something similar. I checked krx website, but could not see anything.

There is not market data. Does anyone know why? There is no holiday, just checked the calendar. Thanks, redduke

Hi Bernard, Thanks for suggestion. I will get this book as well, what I did not like though is sales pitch on his website. It looks too cheesy and fake. Regards, redduke

I also use IB. I trade intra day with high frequency, and that is why KOSPI is ideal for me. My method requires 1 tick spread, no or rare slippage and decent size. I wish I could also trade KOSPI options, but they are not approved for US residents.

Jackson, What instruments are you trading? Regards, redduke

I totally agree with what you said. This is actually exactly what I am doing. It used to be harder when I used to get up at 2:45am to trade DAX. (I live in NY), but slightly over 1 year ago CFTC allowed KOPSI futures to be traded by US residents. KOSPI is a great contract. It is liquid...

I was also wondering about this. Did a quick search, but could not see any recent references.

The problem with your logic i that you oversimplified something that can not be. Various markets allow many companies hedge their risks. Hedging the risks allow companies to plan more accurately, which is reflected in $ they charge their clients. The speculators are there providing liquidity and...

He described some amazing stuff that he witnessed in his book. I wonder how much of it is a lie?

I have no clue. I am actually very surprised t hear this. Just Googled a bit, and all I can say is Wow.

I am in the middle of reading this book. Several years ago I read a book called "The Way of the Warrior-Trader: The Financial Risk-Taker's Guide to Samurai Courage, Confidence and Discipline" by Richard McCall. There are similarities in these books. Only while reading Maltz's book the...

It is rather old, I bought it about 3 years ago. Windows XP Pro SP2, core duo forgot the processor speed, 2 gb of ram.

Hi 0008, I do not know of any. However, as far I as saw over the course of 1 year, there is no market shattering news in South Korea (equivalent of US NFP, fed annoucments ...). They might be released after hours though. If you find any, please let me know. I also trade KOSPI intraday...

I have been using Ninja for several years now. I trade futures only. Since 6.5 release the platform has all the features that I need. No issues at all. I currently trade through IB. I have 8 different windows open an no memory or processor issues. Also, I have some extensive dom analysis...

I have not traded it for over 2 years, but the spread alone could be 7 ticks.

Most of the hate for GS comes from envy. The envy of not being one of them. Most people (there are exceptions everywhere) who rip GS would go and work for them in a heart beat if the offer was to be extended. GS does many nasty things, and they do it because they are good enough to work...

The thing about Nikkei is that it does not move much. If you needs an index future that has decent thickness, 1 tick spread and good moves, KOSPI is unmatchanble. Regards, redduke

It is too complicated for most to understand. And even if it ever goes to trial, it would be very difficult to convince jury about crime or malicious intent. That is the beauty of such schemes.

I just checked IB margin for KOPSI on their site, and intra day margin is now 1/2 of overnight. It currently stands at around $7K. I find this exiting, since it now frees up 1/2 of my capital.
