Some ass sold the whole queue today (11:49am) on HSI Oct Contract.

 

Not infreqent on the HSI.

 

yeah, but usually the cash price follows...

Edit: Look at the graph

 

You were looking at the wrong contract. The high volume contract today was still September (U6).

See what happened (note my times are 2hrs forward of HK).

Yes I was, was on the V6 since yesterday morning.

 

Anyone know if IB have an office in asia? How about a 'hub' for TWS connections?

What do people use for brokerage when trading HS NiKKei SPI etc?

Thanks.

 

IB's office in Asia is in Hong Kong. Its one of the three worldwide server nodes and you can choose to make it your "attachment point" no matter where your account is opened. Just let them know that you'd like to be attached to HK (or the US or Europe depending on what you want).

 

Hello Kiwi,

How do you find the slippage on HSI through IB?

I use Phillip Securities HK Brokerage with their electronic transaction platform, I find the slippage is not too bad (1~3 points)
