This contract is trade on KRX http: This thread is to help us learn about this contract. Here are few specifics: Average daily range for March, 09 contract is about ticks.

I have few questions for those who trade it: Are there any oddities in this market comparing to other ones? The example would be watching out for Typhoons when trading Hang Seng since the exchange can close. What Asian news release can affect market? I never trade news and always flat few min before and after.

I see many block trades, Where do they come from and how are they executed? I have not traded this contract in the past, but I am interested in learning more about it.

Other than Interactive Brokers, what other brokers allow US residents to trade this contract?

Moves like you can't believe. I would not worry about block trades. It trades every tick. News is weird sometimes its something out of China. Sometimes its a missile launch from North Korea. On short time scales 5min tends forex squeeze indicator go up sharply Watch the currency and any news on ship builders.

If the won moves euro rate against british pound K will move. How many per clip can there be traded with no more than 1 tick slipage? Kospi trading index futures is right easily trade or more without slippage. Market gets very quite around Chinese new year end January early February. Often have a fomc or there equivalent meeting and announcement on third Thursday i.

Haven't noticed that it affects much. Generally it moves and you have no idea why. Thats an interesting way of asking. I've always preferred an average trend following trading systems terms of tradable ticks.

Mainly because when it gets too low my strategies don't work well. IMO Red, with KOSPI you actually need to study it a bit to find out whether you like the way it behaves.
