which is the mini, HHI or HSI? also, i am having trouble finding any Hang Seng symbols in tradestation, anyone know what they are / if they're available? are there any special tax responsibilities for a US resident and citizen who trades the hang seng futures? thanks
the mini is the MHI and the large contract is the HSI. The HHI is the China futures contract based on a basket of large CHina co's. From what I have read there are no capital gains taxes in HK so no worries there.
mhi is not that active but the markets will line up to HSI. Just issue a quote request as market makers will respond and it will help to make sure you're not sticking in a erroneous price, check the similar option on HSI, put in an order at or 1-2 ticks better than the big contract and you should get hit or lifted. BTW, talk about making markets for the thick skinned - looks like the exchange may launch HHI options around June.
