Can I trade KOSPI options, as if it were futures?

Quote from kiwi_trader:

When I looked at them the liquidity and low spread was all well out of the money. Part of the reason its only a 1 pt spread though is that those are cheap options at that point (at least as a futures trader that was my perception).

1-tick spread is amazing.

That's no many points to trade futures. Its required margin is very large. If I daytrade options, the opportunity cost is lower and the reward is higher relatively.

Is it still 1-tick even for ATM and OTM options?

Thanks for your reminder.

I will definitely trade deep ITM options since the delta is as near as 1 (relative to OTM ones). This should eliminate all other factors ("greek" things).

Does time decay matter in daytrading?

If u are daytrading, just buy 5-10 1 dollar to 1.5 dollar one, it will have a similar outcome of buying 1 deep in the money options. U can get out eaiser than a deep ITM options.
 
I have watched the options market for a few days. It is great. The liquidity is very good, not just the ATM ones.

What's the point of daytrading futures, if options can be as good as futures? What you need to do is to pick a right option (eg not choosing too deep ITM or OTM options) and go for it.

KOSPI options seem to be much better than its futures.

Or am I missing anything?
