Facts:

In the Czech republic are three stock markets. The big one SPAD (minimal buy in M€, market makers), small KOBOS (called also BCPP, I will use name KOBOS) (tenth of SPAD, real auctions) and the little one RMS (hundredth of SPAD , real auctions too ).

The SPAD have Round-Trip commission around 0,2% , KOBOS 0,8% and RMS 1,2% (really huge commissions for KOBOS and RMS isn’t it , nothing for intra-day trading…).

Opening time:

SPAD 9:15 – 16:0

KOBOS 9:10 – 15:55

RMS   9:00 – 17:00

Price depending mainly on the biggest one SPAD market. I’m waiting for the opening of SPAD at 9:15, next +-15 minutes price fluctuating VERY HARD! and at the 9:30 I’m starting buying. But If you are really smart and you know, where will price go, you may trade in RMS or KOBOS before opening of SPAD or after it’s SPAD closed, but I’m not recommended it.

The FIO broker buy/sell screen look like (It’s real screen from the today):

Biggest market SPAD set price of the BAATELEC (O2, telecommunication) stock on the 442 CZK. I’m not investing in M€, I may buy only in the KOBOS (second column) or in the RMS (third column) market. RMS have the biggest commission, but he offering lower price 437,1 than the KOBOSs 441 this is +- 4 CZK difference, which is 1% of the price. RMS commission cost 0,4% more than the KOBOS, but with this nice 1% bonus, its 0,6% cheaper, than the KOBOS with price 441 CZK. Every this calculation I’m making only in my mind, because It’s no time to use calculator or made mistake, price fluctuating hard and fast… Done I’m buying in the RMS for the 437,1 CZK .

My experiences from the Czech Republic RMS market Is, that price depend only on the SPAD market. Price is usually 0.5% up or down SPAD (if SPAD go up, it’s up the SPAD price…). It’s good for selling, when the market going up, because you may sell it with higher profit, but if you will miss the turn-over point you will claim high punch .

Liquidity is good, but problem is, that you don’t know If you will sell or not, it’s the auction. I’m someone trying sell for 100, not sell cancel it and go down to 99.8, 99.5…, and still not sell. In the SPAD market the brokers which creating market must buy from you!

Problem is too, that if you not trading with BAACEZ (ČEZ), which is the top one stock on the Czech market, and you trading with BAATELEC (O2) or BAAUNIPE (UNIPETROL) the market is slow and someone selling only, for example, once per 30 minutes . So you looking on graph, which not changing, and you don’t know where the price is right now…

Graph (FIO broker) is from big SPAD (EU – Czech Republic) market. My orders was placed on the small RMS market, where the price fluctuate heavy +-5 CZK around SPAD . At RMS I usually buy better than on the SPAD market, but I must sell quicker, when the price go up at the SPAD. If the price start falling down at the SPAD the RMS accepting only very low price .

Buy:

Firstly I draw red line under minimums and green line at the expected profit .

The minimum for 24. 9. 2008 was from  596 to +-597, the price go down to 593, i place order and bought at 591,3 .

Sell:

Now I must little wait and look market very carefully, if it will go down i will sell! This is the most difficult part !!! I must be strong, and if market not return to usual limits, it’s regular breakout and price will FALL DOWN HEAVY!

Market go up for whole day, with large correction in 15-16 hours (as everyday…, everyone ending in this hour his positions).

Today 25. 9. 2008 I watch the USA market (USA storing lot of money in the CR market…), which fall down to -0.27% (NASDAQ 0%), so i can’t expect any large push up in price! At the 11 hours I meet my internal goal of +-400 (410 wasn’t realistic according to the USA results), so i placed sell order at the nice 399,7 and wait. If someone will buy it, or the price will go up (if go up, i will cancel the order and wait). Someone buy my stocks at the 401 and i realized nice profit .
