I hear that is the 'big' thing there. To pick a put and a call and trade them like outrights based on direction.

Did you sell these or buy calls?

I am not trading it at the current stage, just looking at this market . According to the exchange,

Options Margins
Buying options in limit order : Margin = price x multiplier x number of contract
¦ multiplier
(USD options: 10,000, KQ 50 Index Options: 100,000, Options on 3yr KTB Futures: 1,000,000)
Buying options in market order (based on possible maximum value of bought position of the day): Margin = Underlying option margin per contract x number of contract
Selling options:
Margin = (Maximum theoretical price - selling theoretical price) x multiplier x number of contract

Marsupilami,

Yes, I use the EZ futures (demo) platform thru Hyundai Futures....

It's relatively okay and pretty stable. I primarily use it for the charts and just to track the KOSPI market. I haven't been able to use it in its entirety because the platform is Korean.

Quote from Marsupilami:

Awash, do you use EZ futures ? I recognized their logo on the window screen. How do you like their service and their software ?
Thanks

Hi Awash,

I think I'm actually using the same software, just through a different broker (Cheil Futures).
It's for the same reasons (i.e. language) that I haven't explored every feature of the platform yet.
However, I am waiting for IB to introduce the KOSPI since misunderstandings due to language barriers can be very expensive in this business.

Hi Guys.

Can I get the IB option symbol for the KOSPI. Can't find it on the website.

Thanks.

Also.

Does anyone have any comments on trading SPI futures (Australian Stock Exchange).

Thanks again.

The symbol is K200 but I think nobody is capable to use it yet.

 

[ozzy]

When is it going to be available? I'm on the west coast, can't wait to trade this thing.

Thanks.
