Hang Seng vs Nik225

Any of you guys use the IB feed with Ensign?

I can bring up HSI, but not sgxnk. I have tried about a dozen permutations of the symbol. Its fine on my TWS. (SSIJ6 for example). Anyone do this?

Australian SFI200

Hi Folks,

Since we are on the topic of Asian/Far-East indices, I was wondering if anyone has traded the Australian SPI200 Futures contracts. Seems like a nicely trending security but daily volume < 20,000 seems to be a drawback.

What have your experiences (good and bad) been with this futures contract?

TIA
 
jayford,
One perculiarity of both these markets that you won't encounter in other markets ....., they both close for lunch - how very civilised! Eating is serious business in Asia.

In my experience the Nikkei tends not to gap after lunch but the Hang Seng often does.

Enjoy!
 
I like the lunch idea. Actually, I wish the US markets would only tarde a few hours per day. Cram in the price action and get it done with on high volume. Some commodities are like that.
 
Do any of you nice folks know when the Nikkei 225 opens on in Singapore? I believe it is 6:45 EST? Thanks in advance.

Dan

Thanks, I can't find where is market profile on IB. Are you talking the export to excel function? Since the output file is named as "ticker.txt"

SGXNK does 5pt ticks rather than the tokyo 10pt. Its free for data and has reasonable fees. Very good liquidity and nice trender.

HSI is more volatile but 1tick only = 6.40 per contract. Lower liquidity but you can get filled at your price if you use limit orders and your intelligence. Definitely trickier but rather fun with it.

If I hadnt started on HSI before SGXNK was available I suspect I would be trading SGX but HSI is an intense experience with very reasonable exchange opening hours.
