Since SGX future is based on US dollars, can you trade SGX if you have:

1. IRA account?
2. Non-IRA account?

I trade it and so does one of my mates in Singapore.

Its a lovely little contract. Runs nicely, well behaved, nice liquidity, a delight to trade

You can trade non-US dollar futures in an IRA, you just need to convert some of your funds to that currency.

I dropped SGXNK for now (I wanted less correlation and its the smallest mover so I had to trade it slightly differently to the other two). I've replaced it with EUR.JPY

SPI and STW both have nice moves and I trade more of whichever one triggers my edges more on the day.

Does that mean I can trade MSCI TAIWAN INDEX (TWZ07) futures on SGX which is based on US dollars, without any currency conversion for IRA accounts????
