Hi Steve,

Are you also planning to offer options on KOSPI? They are one of the most liquid derivatives in the world?

Thanks,

We do offer Kospi options to clients but unfortunately they are cash settled index options and US residents are unable to trade them. (ie. the no action letter is just for the futures)

 

Hi Def,

Thanks. I was wondering why I could not see them. The interesting thing i heard about them is that they are so liquid that they can be traded as it they were futures.

Regards,
redduke

 

why is it the most liquid derivative in the world?

 

Last time I checked it was doing easily 1.5 mil contracts per day on both call and put. There is a thread called trade kopi options as futures, check it out.

 

Wow, impressive

 

i meant why is it doing 1.5 mil contracts per day? it's only the tiny korean market.

 

I do not see it on Ninja Trader yet.
