I don't pay for historical data separately... I just download the data when I log on.. I think it's available for 5 days or so. Not ideal, but it works for me.

Took my first trade on the HSI this evening after a year long break, and man oh man did it feel good... There isn't a market that gives you a better bang for your buck (and also potential to...

Yes - the spread is usually 1-2 ticks, not too bad really, and liquidity is decent enough. Probably about 8-10x less liquidity than the US session, which is to say it's still tradeable. It's hard to...

A little bit here and there, but have not been as active as I have during the US day session.. 12% grind up in 8 trading days and 42% higher since the march lows (almost as good as NDX's 46% rally!)....

The HSI is having issues going anywhere the past few days, given the shaky state of political affairs -- of course, that doesn't prevent an algo-induced 300 point rip in the first 5 minutes... but...

If you plan to trade it, then of course. When you take your first couple of trades, HSI will snatch away $10 before you can blink, so I wouldn't sweat it :)

Yes, CFD symbol "HKG33" on tradingview is basically HSI futures. JPN225 is Nikkei. And a lot more there.

Having traded the ES for 10 years, and the HSI for close to a year, I would say that HSI is...

I would like to (I used to), but they don't have TSE data (Nikkei). Though they posted recently that they were considering it in the next 3 months so maybe that will change.

Also, if there were a...

The nikkei is very prone to make local lows even when that price goes offer and local highs even when that price goes bid.

For example, it trades up to 24020, then back down to 23990, and 23990...

In this case, I was long ES from 67s, and was in the process of getting out of my longs at 73 when HSI opened. So, I was not thinking short, and while a short looks good in retrospect, at the time I...

I wouldn't say so really -- the advantage is that it will run, consolidate, pop, and repeat. It doesn't really pull back enough to challenge the dominant side, once it gets going, which is of course...

Re: the HHI ... this action from last night scares me, and was not mirrored in the HSI.

That's right, if you have margin to dump ~250 at the market, you can cause a mini flash crash in the HHI!...
