HHI, a Viable Alternative to HSI

Hi there,

With the massive decline in intraday volatility on the Nikkei, I have been starting to examine other markets in Asia. It seems that HHI has now become quite a viable trading vehicle often trading around 80k per day. This is close to the volume on HSI. It has the same $ / pt as HSI but seems just ever so slightly more sedate.

Anyone have experience trading it and can provide comparison to something like HSI.

My thanks in advance,
MK

I have never tried the HHI.

I just keyed that into my TWS, but it is not showing up.
I have to look up the symbol at IB's website.

I like the HSI... it has always been a good trader... I love the volatility.

Re: HHI, a Viable Alternative to HSI

Extreme volatility used to have a habit of bringing out my worst trading behaviours of overtrading. This was 4 years ago though, maybe I have matured since then! I've subscribed to esignal delayed data so I can start collecting some tick data to commence some preliminary analysis (HHI and HSI). If you have any comments about this instrument, I would thoroughly enjoy it.

My thanks,
MK
