You can also look at the N225 contracts that trade on the SGX.

sgxnk has the interesting characteristics:

- bigger than mini but much smaller than big nik
- opens earlier in morning and lunchhour with gap free lunchbreaks
- sgx data is free

Hi Kiwi,

Thank you for your advice. The STW is out of the question, as it is not on IB's authorized list for US residents. The same with Hang Seng Mini also.

I'm going to have to do some research on KOSPI.

Schaefer

I have traded STW and I am in the US.

I'm sorry about the misinformation, STW is traded via Singapore Exchange (SGX), and IS AUTHORIZED for US residents to trade.

Anyone wondering, which products are available for US residents to trade, here's the link on IB's website for more info:

I know this has been discussed in the past, but does anyone know why in the world that the big Hang-Seng on the HKFE is available to US residents but NOT the mini? It just makes no sense to me. Does anyone who is a US resident have access to the mini-Hang?? MAN forbids me from trading that, but does allow me to trade the mini-Osaka N225. Seems odd.

Supposedly, to be approved by our CFTC, that particular foreign instrument must submit application to CFTC, and meet the guide lines laid out by CFTC. And one of the guide lines is to give the CFTC $200,000 in application fees

Apparently, Hang Seng Mini did not feel the need to give CFTC $200,000??

Even if they want $200k, it still seems strange that the big would be available and not the mini. Where is the logic in that?

Oh well - I guess you 'can't fight city hall'.
