They are throwing out the baby with the bath water.

But look at that trend ... a trader's dream.

Where are you trading this contract? What exchange carries it and what firm?

Thanks!

I don't trade the Nikkei, but Interactive Brokers offers the contract. I'd recommend trading it from Singapore; from what I have heard, the spread is less.

American residents can legally trade the Nikkei as well as other non-American products (Hang Seng, DAX, among others).

Can't you trade the Nikkei on the CME?? I've never done it but I've seen the contract, and am pretty sure its traded.

 

[Hooked2000]

Yes it is a contract on the CME...It is trading on while Japan sleeps...Like the S & P overnight.

To those asking:

CME symbol: NKD

I'm kinda on the fence on the Nikkei. I think this selling is overdone. Will start to scale in. Nikkei may end at 16,000 end of the year

 

[Cariocas]

I traded the NKD:CME for a while and let me warn you the spreads are ugly. Dropped it from portfolio of instruments I trade. Maybe as the other posters indicated, the Nikkei on other markets is more liquid and provides a better trading edge. Good luck.

-4% last night or over 600 points. Rumor has it on power struggle in the BOJ.

Can you smell panic?
