Mini Topix

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Just a FYI for anyone interested. I have been in PMs with on another forum about IB offering the newly available mini Topix at the Tokyo Stock Exchange. His reply today was that it will be being offered any day, possibly as soon as tomorrow (which is today). Asian traders might want to keep an eye on this contract over the coming months.

 

With regards,

MK

Although it isn't listed on any of IBs pages right now. Apparently this product is available for trading under the symbol MNTPX. I've asked the rep what the comms and margin are and will update once he gets back to me.

The product is now trade able through IB, but there seems to be some commission issues. It seems to be on the wrong commission schedule. I'm in contact with an IB rep who is working to resolve and will update once it is done.

Hi gooni,

 

The mini topix was only made available since June 16th this year, so its a new product. The tick increment is 1/2 the full size topix. The spread is usually 0.50 (2 ticks mini ticks), sometimes 0.25. The book reads 400-700 totaled either side 5 levels deep at this time. Because topix seems to have better ranges than the nikkei, I think this mini product will be similarly well received that the mini nikkei was. It will just take a little time.

 

The full size topix on the other hand has a spread virtually always 0.50 (1 full size tick). The book total 5 levels deep either side is is the 500-800 area usually.

lordbinder,

 

I guess your question is in specific reference to Asian markets with liquidity? If so, there is good liquidity on both the full size and mini Nikkei 225 in Osaka. The full size Topix in Tokyo also is quite active. The Kospi 200 in Korea has great volume and activity. If you are frenetically inclined, you may enjoy the Hang Seng in Hong Kong.

 

I hope that helps some.

 

With kind regards,

MK

Just a quick update here. IB have the product all ready to go. I recommend the bundled the comms for all ¥ products for now. The comms are 300 RT. I have word direct from a reputable IB source that the unbundled comms for all ¥ products will be getting a revamp within 1-2 months. Expect even better comms then.

 

My best regards,

MK

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
