CME plans on trading Kospi
2007-11-12 14:08:00 The CME announced that it would begin offering the Kospi 200 futures contract on its Globex trading platform. The agreement, however, does not include the Kospi options. Very little trading is done on the Kospi 200. Most of the trading is the Kospi Options. In speaking with the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, they said they had no intentions of offering Kospi Options to trade. Shadowtraders moved one step closer to being able to offer Kospi Options trading to the public. Shortly a U.S. Clearing firm will be announcing that they will Clear the KRX options. This has stopped Shadowtraders from moving forward. Additionally Shadowtraders is completing its efforts to chart the Korean options and provide a live datafeed.

Exploring a Trader’s Chatroom
More articles from this author:2007-08-18 14:43:00 While it might seem like high-tech fun to the casual observer, trading is a lonely ordeal. Not only does the professional trader need to have extreme discipline, experience, and an attitude that doesn’t dwell on the money but sees trading as a game; he or she must also spend at least six hours a day in isolation with only the sound of whirring computers punctuated by the occasional audible signal. However, thanks to the development of the online trader’s chatroom, trading in seclusion may no longer be a necessary ingredient for success. Here we look at how the trader’s online chatroom not only connects traders but also can help their efficiency and profitability. This article was excerpted from Investopedia.
