Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

Quote from Schaefer:

Hi, CHACHA420,

Just follow the QT symbols format:

Exchange: OSE.JPN

Symbol: JNM

Expiry Month: U7


So you would enter: OSE.JPN:@JNMU7

As for IB's TWS: N225M

You may have to create a time template for OSE for QT charts. Let me know, if you need further help.

Thank you very much. I will keep eyes on that too.

I appreciate your prompt response.
 
For those of you who need a time template for OSE for QT. This is what I'm using right now. If I'm missing anything, please feel free to correct.

Schaefer


Edit: Forgot to mention, with this template, it seems to work fine for me. But once the session is over, QT fails to roll over to the next day right away. Instead, it'll show tons of empty bars, you have to scroll back using the scrollers on bottom of the chart.

But as soon as next session starts, all is fine again :confused:

If you open an account with IB, make sure to tell them
to put you on the Hong Kong server. If you are on the
U.S. server, it will shut down for maintenance for a few
seconds/minutes during Asian trading hours.

i'm on the US server and asian quotes (SGXNK et al) keep running on TWS here during US maintenance

Are you sure that they are not just backfilling when the (usually brief nowadays) down period is over.

Hi Kiwi,

I still have not switched over to Hong Kong server yet, but you're correct, the down time lasted just a few seconds. For example, the system reset tonight was at 12:19 am. I barely noticed the brief outage for just a few seconds. Then it backfilled automatically, and all was fine again.

I've been watching, and sim trading the N225M for almost a week now, and so far I like it. I may go live with 1, or 2 lots this week :)

Schaefer

ps: I'm going to look into SPI, this week also.
 
Hi all, a quick question to Learner2007, Def, or someone who knows; the evening session for N225M supposedly started since Sept. 18th. But I'm not seeing any trading activities, can you confirm if it has started, and if IB is relaying data?

Regards,
Schaefer

Okay, I see it now. I had the "Show pre/after market" option turned off :D

The volume is pretty low though, I guess it'll take a while to catch on.

Thanks Def,

Schaefer
 
Why is the unbundled commission 50% more for Ni225_m? I saw some archive saying it was because of yen programming, yet, regular Ni225 is cheaper for unbundled. What gives?
