My trading computer locked up on me. I had an order in the book to get long 2 STW's at .20 when it froze. By the time I got IB up and running on...
That pullback came 1 tick away from my entry before that huge jump. Still on the sidelines.
Someone's getting paid. Maybe you can sell to me now.
Too bad you're not long the Nikkei right now (maybe you are). That thing is screaming into the morning cash close.
I don't think so, I don't think trading gains are considered income in the traditional sense, but I'm no tax accountant. US taxes you will owe.
SGX or Osaka. I sometimes trade the mini on Osaka if I get home from my day job early enough. I mainly focus on Taiwan.
I'm still flat on TW. I trade pullbacks after strength, and I haven't seen any strength in any direction yet on TW tonight.

I trade through Interactive Brokers. They are the only brokerage that I know of with connections into all those markets. Aside from the occasional...
Another option which I havenât seen mentioned yet is to trade the Asian markets at night after work. There are several tradable index futures...
Still not working for me. Looks like you'll have to take your money from someone else tonight Kiwi.
I don't trade the US indexes but I follow them very closely. I trade with a trend following (following, not chasing mind you) strategy....
Website is up but launching Ensign still freezes TWS.
I'm in my account and watching the Taiwan market trade using IB's own charts, which are pretty lame but I don't need incredibly fancy charting for...
