i'm not sure...but maybe those are negotiated orders?

MidKnight, what's the volume in mini and big topix contracts like? thanks

very great post. thank you.

i moved from spot forex to futures for more than 1 month now.. don't notice any significant difference. i mainly trade eur and jpy futures by the way. the volume of gbp in futures is even lower than eur and jpy.

i want to clear some things up.. nk are traded in ose, sgx and cme. Not sure if cme offers the mini contracts. I can check it later. The mini contracts are traded in ose and sgx. (but no liquidity in sgx) for ose mini, trading hours are 900am - 1100am, 1230pm - 1510pm, 1630pm - 1900pm, ose time. nkd (nk dominated in usd) opens at 1700pm ose time then at 1900pm ose time, ose closes and markets in sgx and cme become very thin. This is when the spread becomes very high as i mentioned above. at 2000pm ose time, nk in sgx closes and nk (dominated in yen) trades in cme (not sure if mini is offered by cme) hope it helps.

what do u mean by spread? difference between bid and ask? or calendar spread? most of the time, the spread as in diff btw bid and ask is 1 tick (5 points) in the mini and sgx full contract. only after ose close, the market in sgx and cme is very thin. The spread during US session is normally 3-5 ticks, or even wider.

interesting information.. Thanks

i requested for the demo today but unfortunately the software couldn't access the server. What i'm really impressed is that their support team spent 3 hours troubleshooting it (however with no luck...)
