Hang Seng and Nikkei futures

Quote from Xenia:

Do you trade the Nikkei225 future (OSE, Osaka) ?

Sometimes, when I am feeling brave.
The $96 tick size means you have to have balls of steel, I had mine clanged a few times.
 
Quote from roberk:

SPI is like watching paint dry.
HSI is highly volatile.
Nikkei has medium volatilty and is HIGHLY liquid.

Admit SPI is not most exciting trading medium, but we don't trade for excitement...money is still good.

TRS.
 
Quote from TGM:

Just curious, who do you guys use for your hong kong quotes? Do you trade the hang send mini?
More...

eSignal. mini's restricted to overseas (non-US).
 
Haven't they just introduced a mini Nikkei product? Any liquidity there yet?

I'm off to live in Thailand for a too. My big worry is the quality of Internet infrastructure. Might have to change my style a bit.

Cheers.
 
The SGXNK product is half the normal nikkei size and has great volume and institutional support with free data so even if the mini isn't up to much yet there's a great alternative thru Singapore.

All these products (HSI HHI STW SGXNK) can be traded thru Interactive Brokers and data is free. Lovely inter and intraday trends. All welcome :)

yes, to be honest I haven't looked at the daily volumes, just the market depth. The liquidity is there but the contracts is SO small 1/10 the size of the big one. At IB, the symbol is N225M. Given the size (of the N225mini), I'd recommend the SGXNK like Kiwi stated.

Too many big gaps. Not good for day trading.
