Have anyone thought of arbitrage the same stock in different exchanges? Do you think it is worth doing so? I'm not sure how to do this really? I think I can simply press buttons to buy cheaper stocks on one market, then sell it on another market. Is that as easy as I may think of, or I need to do extra procedures to transfer my stocks from one exchange to another? Any idea?
I trade a very selective pattern based strategy, hence my screener needs plenty of stocks in order to generate a prospective watch list. Therefore, I trade the US, UK, France, Germany through CFDs. And I live in Germany btw.
Is IB the only firm which offer such a wide range of products worldwide? I couldn't find any alternative as far as its range of products is concerned. Unfortunately the only Asian stock market (I mean stock) it offers is Japanese. I would like to see more, like Hong Kong and Taiwan. Is there any other trader who trade other countries' stocks?
i traded uk/german/italy stocks ages ago trough cfds and have some success ONLY after earnings reports...vols are pretty much dead otherwise and costs are atrocious. if u choose to trade 'em trough direct access u gotta go past the luuvley stamp duty [that is .25%, not .1% and on each side].
You probably open an international account, so you can trade in CBOT. Many firms should offer this exchange as it is very popular. I'm not sure if they accept Chinese traders. You have to ask.
