Kospi 200.
how to trade it?

initial margin 4kk krw
overnight margin 8kk krw
multiplier 250k
opening time 9am to 345p
1 tick = 0.05 point

so difficult to use Sierrachart.
very difficult to have a feel how tradable Kospi200 is.
Let me give one last final final attempt to use Sierrachart.

Cont ....

well. my Sierra charts are more or less ready.

Kospi200
typical day range around 2.5
not that great for day trading. anyway will monitor for few days.


Korea 10 years bond. Now at 130.
typical day range 0.4 point - relatively small compare with US, Germany, Italy bonds.

Who knows, Koreans and US might exchange interesting Christmas presents.

leads were US index futures.

US index futures

creating multiple trading opportunities.
 
Sierra Chart vs Esignal

Currently I am using Esignal.
Occassionally, when the market is very very hot, Esignal would freeze for few minutes
(like what happened on 12 Dec, at 936pm ).

Obviously internet traffic was very very high.
But then some charting s/w has been known to handle such situation rather well.
I tried Ensign Charting s/w before. It was bad.
I tried a proprietary charting s/w before and it was great!

Perhaps time to subscribe to SC and see if it would freeze when it is under pressure.
 
16 Dec US session

what happened so far ...

Asian session
only one signal from Thailand SET50

Eur session
only one signal from gbp.
Even the major eur gbp flash services mfg data failed to wake up the market.
Last Fri, there were 18 signals during end Eur /early US session !


Overall market has quietened significantly.

So if there is no major event / news / situation coming up.
US session might be dead.
