I don't think that will be a problem. If you have high speed internet you should be fine. You can do something called a ping test that will give you your speed, but that is only needed for very intensive scalping. Furthermore CME has a "hub" in Singapore were I believe orders get 'time stamped" before going into the larger pool. Also you might want to think about trading local Asian products. Many Asian futures are very liquid and might suit your time zone better.
Well, is this a new branch in HK? http://www.jobsdb.com/HK/EN/Job.asp?R=JDB100579821&MyJDB=Y&57198 It is located in Shatin according to the ad. P.S. I'm a "Honger" who recently lost his job. I have been swing trading HSI options for several years with mixed results and now I think I should see whether I can be successful in daytrading. But if it's just $9900 BP and a 10% payout .... it doesn't sound so good.
if you can make 10k net in pos swift then you could probably make yourself a decent living in any prop firm.
Dear Kwancy, you mentioned "10% Chinese paid-out scam". ? what exactly do you mean by this ? thank you .
you can't be serious to be satisfied with 3-4K per month?? It's not that they are paying us 10% of paid-out, but to the branches in China. Not sure if that is the case now since I am not longer at Swift. Good luck trading
So do you think that a (successful) Swift Trader can be appreciated by other "ordinary'' financial institutions, such as investment banks and fund houses? Actually I'm also working in Swift now....in Macau.
