Yep risknav that's originally what recently attracted me to this particular future even though I've watched it for some months time. The fact that a large amount of volume is driven by retail/gambling mindset looked like a potential opportunity to me. I do feel technical analysis works on this thing - in fact IMO its in an inverted cup and handle right now but there's definite emotion and momentum contained within it. Also, when I first started looking at this thing some months back I used time based charts. When I switched over to constant volume based charts it became a hell of a lot more clear.
Some charts, patterns: Last 2 days (CH-like -> rally -> rejection): Couple weeks (this is where I see an ICH in progress):
If I do small volume, the round trip commission(fixed pricing) is US$5.7 per contract. Please refer to the post/chart by i960 on previous page for details: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/sgx-a50-index-future.292570/page-2#post-4143585
but you must change in account management fixed pricing to tiered pricing and you will have 1,50 per side. I f you do small volume its better to have tiered pricing
