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.

TraderTactics, Thanks for mentioning MF. I spoke with them this morning and here is what I have so far: They offer 50% of KRX min margin requirement for intraday. The round trip with all fees is $6 (add $1 if custom front end like Ninja is used or pay $750 per month) The data is send...

They are based in Singapore and not registered with NFA and CFTC. Not that registration is bullet proof, but it least it is something.

Frank Partnoy in his book Fiasco described several deals that MS did with Japanese counterparts. If you have not read it, take a look. It does resemble Liars Poker, but with its own twist. Somewhat relevant to this thread as well.

Not that I know. Just wire 10K to IB to open account, then you can withdraw most of it. Do not remember exactly what the the min is, so that you do not get charged some additional fees. Call them up.

Taiwan Index and SPI 200 (Australia)

It is getting smaller and less interesting year after year. I have visited last 5 years, not going this one. The interesting part for me these days is to talk to some software vendors, but this alone not worth the trip.

I went to Expo last 5 years.Skipping this year, did not see anything that interest me.

Nikkei is liquid but does not move much. HSI is very thin and wide spread, but has huge moves (fills even on 1 contract get you in with slippage) KOSPI is very liquid, high tick value and moves well. I trade KOSPI.

IB is the only one that offers KOSPI in US that I know off. Trade it through them and have no complaints. My only issue is that the margin for this contract is a bit high, it is around 14K per contract. As far as HSI, there are more options. Advantage Futures offer this contract. Probably...

The original takes place in 1985. Let’s say it spans over the course of 1 year. By 1986-87 Gekko would have in indicted, and convicted around 88. When I read Den of Thieves, nobody got such lengthy sentences. Not sure, but the laws must have been different back then. How come Gekko gets 20 in...

I also did not like Shia to be in such film, but let's wait and see it first. April is right around the corner.

I could not believe what I read. How this escaped main stream media??? This is so disgusting, and GOP voted against stooping this shit. Unbelievable. If this is what they do to their own coworkers, imagine what they do to locals.

Very disappointing. No multitasking, no flash support, only 64gb ??? 10 hours of batter life while watching videos, yeah right. When iPhone was revealed in 2007, I said WOW, and got it on second day of the launch. This one not even close. It looks to me that it will be niche product for...

Are you an idiot? This will put almost everyone out of business, and the biggest shops will get some kind of exemption. Do you even trade?

If it was only this way. Do you truly believe what you wrote about conservatives.? If yes, you are too naive. There are pretty much no difference between republicans and democrats. Some minor thing here and there. The process allows vast majority to pick their side and release the fumes via...

Deripasca got bailed out by Putin. He would be bankrupt, instead he is preparing huge Rusal IPO where government will invest over 700mil USD. This is just the show.

I believe Ninja 7, currently in beta offers it.

The beta is out already. I would prefer them to get it right, rather then rush unfinished product out. When real $ on the line, reliability is number 1 factor. 6.5 is very solid, and unless you trade large number of instruments at the same time, it is great.

If you watch the videos you will see the the points calculation is based on average over certain number of days. Thus this is taking into account expanding/shrinking volatility. I do not use ACD, but his book is a great read for any trader.
