I'm currently trying to figure out a good minimum scalp size for the N225M. I'm thinking either 3 or 4 ticks. A lot of people scalp for one point on the ES, so I'm trying to compare costs.
Percentage cost of scalping for 1 poing on the ES: ($12.50 spread + $4 commission) / $50 = 33%
Percentage cost of scalping for 3 ticks on the N225M: (500 yen spread + 80 yen commission) / 1500 yen = 38.7%
Percentage cost of scalping for 4 ticks on the N225M: (500 yen spread + 80 yen commission) / 2000 yen = 29%
I think if scalping for 3 ticks, the win rate needs to be unrealistically high. Scalping for 4 ticks is tough, but with scaling in, I think it is doable. The problem with the N225M seems to be that the range is often very small, so scalping with limit order entries at the extremes is probably the most reasonable thing to do in this market context. The massive liquidity tells me that this is exactly what the market participants are doing, whether they are institutions or retail.
To do that much better will be ,,full'' topix futures.0.50 index point tick,low commission also - and you can scalp for one tick.Or trade Nikkei vs Topix.
Extremely expensive commissions from AMP. Pretty much stealing out of your pocket. Interactive Brokers is far, far cheaper. What I would do is use AMP CQG for data and place trades through IB.
