$250 slippage is "par for the course"? :eek:

Wow, what is the volume like on this bad boy?

How many contracts can you hit it at a pop and not be penalized by (further) slippage?

Just curious, for when I decide to grow a pair, I might decide to start trading it ... until then, I'll stay over in the wading pool of the standard e-mini's, LOL. :D
 
To avoid extra entry slippage, good practice is to enter with limit orders...

HSI as many other SIFs is also all about level tests... For me that was the key...

But unlike say ES, swings are wide enough to always keep R/R excellent.

I really admire people who can daytrade ES considering all the level of chop it has!

Does the mini HSI trade...any volume?.....how is the slippage?

Volume is crappy, but OK for practice trading HSI with small risk (1 car).

Slippage though is more adverse than "big" HSI.
 
Even one contract will usually have slipage.

Wow, maybe even, what, 10 pts for say, 10 contracts?

So you hit the button and you're automtically down about 5G's?

Man, this is definitely the HIGH ROLLER table, no wonder so many folks don't want to trade it and it's hard to find information on it.

Thanks
 
Do you think paying 2 tick spread in a mini-Dow is a better deal than HK$250 in HSI?



I have prepared the calculation, you tell me which is the better deal:

2 tick in mini-DOW (YM) at $5/tick = US$10

5 tick in HSI at HK$50/tick = HK$250 = US$32.14 (exch 7.78:1)






hint: do not confuse Portfolio Size Risk with Trading Risk.
Trading a smaller contract does not reduce your Trading Risk.
