Another Mini

Some may still feel E-mini futures are too big. Here is a much smaller index futures product: Nikkei 225 Mini listed on the Osaka Stock Exchange. Its current contract size is JPY 1.7 million, or USD 15k, much smaller than that of S&P E-Mini.

The product started to trade in July 2006. It has huge volume. Kimono traders must trade it too.

SGX of Singapore has a similar product, whose size is 5 times bigger. If you are interested in Nikkei 225 Mini, please visit the following page (Osaka Stock Exchange):

> N225M commission are not so good

Thanks, 2006.

Probably you are right especially when you trade many of Nikkei 225 Mini.

If you trade with a Japanese broker, you may get a good rate, though.

For instance, the commissions of E-Trade of Japan are just JPY 52.5, or 46 US cents per side. (I am not a sales person.... )

Low commission rates are one reason why Nikkei 225 Mini is popular in Japan.
 
the SGXNK is perfect for me, right now a little over $20usd per tick. plenty of volume there too.

I kinda wish the ES was $25 per tick.
 
Quote from wannabetrader01:

I checked the sgxnk---nkv07. On 15-min chart, it's all flat bars. There is no volume. What is wrong?
