The problem is, I am not able to use IB since I'm not an US-resident nor an US-citizen, nor I live in the US, I'm a foreign investor.
Yes, you are indeed correct. Sorry.
So I'd be able to enter with 100 contracts with no problem? That's a pretty nice liquidity.
The problem is, the liquidity on the OSE and the CME seems to differ. I'm not sure of that tho.
What's the liquidity? I mean, the market I trade the most is normally influenced by 50 contracts and above. (Brazilian Future Real), how can I compare it?
I am way more into Day-Trading than Swing trading. And I always risk-adjust my positions when they stay overnight, so I don't mind huge gaps.
But you're telling me the Nikkei futures (/NDK) are actually traded on the CME exchange?
Pre-market is a moment where low-liquidity and private negotiations take place. So the market can move A LOT with little to no volume at all.
Take a look:

Hello.
I've been lurking here for some time and I wondered, which of you trade the Nikkei 225 future contract on AmeriTrade or IB?
How was your experience? How much margin is required? What's the $ per point variation?
Thanks!
