- With 19 tickers in the Financials Group, users have global equity index coverage broad enough to
make it excellent for comparative analysis. Trading the Asian markets offers decent trending moves with low to medium correlation with the west (China and Thailand come to mind), and for the mother of all technical trades (Asian hours anyway) Taiwan Hong Kong and S. Korea are the traders' picks.
- European coverage includes the UK, German and French Indices, plus Belgium, Holland and
Portugal. Asia starts with Japan, China, Hong Kong, with Thailand and Indonesia also there, and the US has the 3 main markets, plus 4 futures quotes.
- Although a number of OTC day traders and speculators shy away from anything equity based,
there is good reason to analyse and trade global markets through cash index offerings in the OTC world. Stock markets trend, often for extended periods, and given there are leader-follower markets, an ones with a life and logic of their own, it is foolish to ignore the excellent opportunities for both short term speculative and indeed swing trading world markets margined cash futures and derivatives.
- The difficulty in trading several Index futures through the exchange traded route is unfortunately
fraught with hassles for most of us, and in terms of accessibility, product coverage and margin multiples, an increasing number of stock traders' find cash index futures as a good stepping point in to the OTC world of 24 hr action. The aim here is to offer a quality data set for global OTC traders across all the key instrument classes, and at a very reasonable price
