    IB futures trading...

    Korean regulations are very conservative nowadays. I checked korean sites, it seems the futures exchange commands a very high margin for kospi2000 futures contracts, you need about USD13,000 to trade just one contract of kospi 2000 index futures. Too high for me

    Nikkei 225

    I wonder why IB does not provide realtime chart for SGXNK and other contracts listed at simax. the nikkei 225 traded at OSE is moving different with the nikkei 225 traded at Simax, at least for intraday traders. It is difficult to look at the chart of OSE Nikkei 225 to trade the SGXNK.
