What futures have decent volume 7 pm to 6 am EST?

Quote from kiwi_trader:

DAX liquidity really isnt great. If you want liquidity then the bund (gbl) and estx50 (like the dji for europe) have much better liquidity than the dax or even the eurofx during the european morning.

And the SGXNK (singapore n225) has much better liquidity during the asian period. HSI is also fun during that period (my poison of choice).

Bund has more volume than DAX, you're correct. I trade the FX and Euro Spot anyway.
 
Is it me or does IB seem erratic during off hours? I'm looking to trade some currency futures or forex but don't know if IB is reliable after hours.

Does the Eurex still charge that ridiculous charge for cancelling orders? I traded a few contracts awhile back, but couldn't believe I was getting charged for that. So i gave up the idea.

IB is generally very reliable for both Asian and European markets. There is a server reset where it is off the air for a couple of minutes at most, once a day.

What fee is that? Where can I look it up to see if it still exists?
Thanks
 
They used to charge ya one euro if you placed an order, and then cancelled it. You were allowed a certain amt of cancelled orders per actual RT without this charge. I only traded a few RT's, and was charged. Felt my strategy would not work in such an environment. I yank lots of orders, and replace at better prices.
