Hang Seng (HSI), Kospi 200 (K200) Trading Journal! (14 Year Old Trader)

kiwi_trader · Mar 6, 2011

Remember: todays the day the HSI times change.

Opening is half and hour earlier as is the close of the morning session.

Then the afternoon session opens one hour earlier than usual and closes at the normal time. So its a 1.5 hour lunchtime, earlier open, and one hour more trading than usual (during the afternoon session).

I'll be interested to see your MP based trading on HSI. I trade it on a M5 / M1 timeframe. Good trading.

I don't trade KOSPI but two others you might consider depending on how well your current contracts match your trading style are the Nikkei (in all its forms) and STW (Taiwan) on SGX.

Went long the 262.5 PUT before break of lows with 5 contracts. Took off at low for ~$15USD.

julian0625 · Mar 6, 2011

Took a $25USD loss on that pop trying to short it again.

julian0625 · Mar 6, 2011

Made $15USD on move down. Not on my full size

. Still getting a feel right now.

julian0625 · Mar 6, 2011

Down $30 been trying to short this but their seems to be a bid. Im going to hold of until a move occurs.

julian0625 · Mar 6, 2011

Higher and higher lows...if I were to guess, I'd guess higher now... trying to work a long if we break out up above 64.70.

Scalped long that move... took only $10. -$20

BTW this is all including commish.

Ouch got hit on that quick reversal back down... -$66

KOSPI acting verrrrrrry choppy right now... probs going to hold off until the HSI.

Looks like my short observation will be correct however. Just got to have better trade location!
