There are always orders placed to be executed at the 11:00 AM close. So you will see a volume spike on the final morning trade. And there may very well be a gap from the next to last trade. Orders to be executed at the open of the afternoon session (12:30) are accepted from 12:10. You will also see a volume spike on the first trade at 12:30 and again a gap from the morning close. How these closing and opening trades are matched is quite complicated to explain
Is Matsui Securities cheaper than IB? What kind of leverage do they give and what is the starting account size for daytrading? I found their site, but the only part they translate, that I can find.., is investor relations. Thx
I'm guessing that you do not live in Japan. If that's the case, you would not be able to open an account with Matsui or any other Japanese broker. An address in Japan is required.
