GET READY!!!!!!! 5% rise or fall in a stock in 5 minutes, stock halts.

Japan.

Quote from Bob111:

I doubt that. simply because in US stock market is a pool of private capital, where anyone can invest in any company.this is the core of capitalism. name any other country, where you can trade 3000-7000 stocks. it doesn't exists.

nonsense. Yes there is slippage, and yes others may out bid/offer you, and yes systematic trading makes it a lot harder for the discretionary short term trader to make money. BUT: Do not tell anyone there was not money to be made from 14-12.5 in JCP. Utter nonsense. If you are too scared of adverse moves/squeezes/whatever you call it, then possibly you trade too large size in this name. But the move from 14-12.5 was perfectly tradable and when you look at what printed on the tape you see that anyone could have jumped onto the wagon.

Quote from stock777:

seriously, look at the movement in many of these names.

its not about that at all. its about you cant figure out wtf is going on.

But I have a different question: Does anyone know (better yet, can anyone refer to a link that details) what exactly happens if a stock is halted for 5 minutes, then gets into the re-open auction, and either already in the auction or right after the only equilibrium price determined is another 10% or so away from the price at which it was halted? Is that even possible or will the auction remain in action until a price is found within the band? I find that very confusing because there is not much mentioned in most of the exchange material.

1910 stocks. how many of them are liquid enough to trade let say $10-100K per position\stock? 10? are those all private companies(like all of US stocks)?
on top of that you probably need to know the language,right?
you need to know news,earnings,divs and many many other things that might affect those stocks that you are trading...
you need data and you need a decent broker. and after all that keep ini mind that you will be constantly exposed to a currency risks. i'm wrong? was it worth it for a guy from US?
 
Bob, what IB offers is by far not the complete Japanese stock universe. Lots of stocks trade also on TSE (Tokyo stock exchange) that IB does not offer, nor do they offer Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka and other local exchanges.
