There is no way you can actively scalp a market which only trades 35k contracts a day, say clipping a 100 lot.5 daily trades and you would be pretty much 3% of the market.

A 35k contract market per day is total dogdirt for an active agressive scalper.

ps The dogdirt/dogfish was no attempt at a joke.

Well I admit it is not huge volume but considering btp did 5k yesterday and fsmi did 69k it might be one to watch at the rate it's growing. When I moved here in 2008 you could count the contracts traded at dgcx on your fingers and toes on some days. It was across the corridor from my office.

I was informed a decent London clearer is now putting in multiple isv connectivity to it in the next few weeks, seeing as I work spitting distance from it, it would be rude not to have a look. Some of the lesser ags products on cme I've scalped don't do much better volume.

The reason its taken off is because DGCX offers the only rupee future contract outside India and because foreigners can't trade Indian markets it is the only venue for non resident Indians and internationals to hedge their currency risk doing business with India.

OK thanks-I would imagine it would be difficult to scalp that market on more than a 10 lot??Are you trading it " Point and click" or via an ALGO you have programmed?

Is this the main market that you trade?Or are you an ex EUREX scalper looking for new Exchanges/contracts to intraday trade?

Kind regards.
