Anyothers you guys know about... Thanks in advance.

DAX and Bund on Eurex, Nikkei 225 on SGX, Eurodollars on CME

I've never traded any LIFFE products, but there a couple of big movers on there as well.

My first post!!

Does IB allow trading in the e-mini Russell 2000 future? (What's the symbol?)

N225 @ OSE.JPN
TOPX @ TSE.JPN
CAC40 @ MONEP
COIL @ IPE
HSI @ HKFE

All these futures are very liquid.

As an US resident, is it legal to trade futures contracts listed on foreign exchanges? If so, how is tax calculated?

Here is a pretty good list of most of the US futures contracts.

IB trades all the E-minis ... and most of the electronic ones (E).

The volumes/open interest are posted and by clicking on a contract you will see all the front months/volume.

hope this helps

I am not sure about tax (ask your tax advisor, blah, blah...) but it is legal to trade foreign futures. You can do it with IB.

@IB
Speaking of available markets to trade...how are things going with the Kospi future and the options ? When will you be offering them ? I'd become a customer instantly
