	Your numbers seem reasonable. Unbundled gives you advantages even at the base rate except on Yen denominated futures (where ub is higher than bundled) so choosing requires a choice of instruments as well.

Thanks Kiwi, I have checked with IB for the unbundled. All are better except SGXNK on my list. But they don't offer unbundled for KOSPI which costs about $10 RT. And they warn me if I opt for unbundled, that would apply to all futures contracts.

Anyway the fees look better before there is a better option.

Hi MK

And their website look very institutional like, and don't bother to cater retail clients. I guess they want retail traders to deal with MF's introducing brokers instead of dealing with them directly. Just my 2 cents.

That's interesting, I'm just typing up a post about potential selling climax in the US late last night.
That KOSPI chart is more or less the action you would expect to see after that...

I use metatrader to look at charts. I mainly look at kospi and hangseng. Just wanted to mention that. I don't know how effective that is having in mind I am paper trading... anyways I am here to learn, I like the big volume, it looks more interesting than other markets, thanks!

I am using a Malaysian broker to get that data - that was the only one I could find, I only use it for charting, am I allowed to name the broker or you want me to send you a pm ?
Thank you!
