Hi all, I am a new member here. I've been seeing a lot of posts here discussing US stock options, US index options. Just wondering if you guys also trade options on Asian markets, like Nikkei, HSI, etc? I myself trade HSI options and find HSI quite an good underlying to trade(tho the only bad thing is the short trading period) Anyway, good to see to a lot of good posts here and I have been learning a lot from you all.

what I am looking at is FXI. I heard Chinese Goverment will lauch big stimulus again by infrastructure construction, the tallest buildings or something ...
FXI is trending down. lag behind U.S. market
in 2012, henseng advanced 7.1% so far, shanghai dropped -3.3%
u.s market nasdaq advanced 20%, s&p500 advance 14.5%, dow advanced 8.9%
buy QQQ call , and buy FXI put , you will be in the right direction.
my suggestion is do not trade index. those indeces fluctuate little with very few trending days. becuase there are two many economic data releases.

I used to trade Asian indices a lot, but lately I found that I want to get a good nights sleep Do you trade Kospi options too?

I do not trade KOSPI, not quite sure if the liquidity is good tho I saw some HK hedge funds hiring prop-traders to trade KOSPI options. Well yea, another bad thing of trading HSI futures is constant gap up/down affecting by US index futures, really can be a nightmare.
