Hi guys! Lately I've been having the worst insomnias you can imagine... So I thought that a good way to spend all those empty hours in the dead of night would be to trade some active futures... Maybe some asian index or currency? I have no idea; the only requirement would be for it to be high-volume, since I'm essentially a technical analyst. Therefore I'd love to hear your suggestions I know this might be a silly question for some, but I still see myself as a newbie... SL
Check on the Nikkei traded on the Singapore exchange and early, early morning look at the DAX. Fx is another option, especially if the CME/Reuters thing ever does roll out.
I trade FX Euro futures at night when I cant sleep. Good liquidity and plenty of movement. With the way Euro is moving against the US dollar lately ..you'd have to be crazy not to trade this market...
Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Bundlemaker - Unfortunately my broker doesn't provide the Singapore Exchange. And I'm a bit reluctant on switching brokers, since I get decent commissions and services on my current broker (velocityfutures). But you had me thinking. If only I could find a broker with a wide range of exchanges (including SGX) and good fees, I'd be set! Any recommendations, people?
