  3. Thanks. If those are the OSE hours there is a real problem.

    It seems the Nikkei is traded only 5 hours at the OSE. It trades 7 hours (with breaks) at the SGX also, and from 3:30am to 4:15pm EST at the CME.

    There seems to be no way of holding a contract through various times frames (position trading) (a few days), with alerts or stops that hold through (in between) sessions.

    Is this correct ?

  4. update: i do not know WHY my n225 mini through OSE was not getting data, and the guy from the chat was wrong (and you were right), it is CFTC approved. i even checked on their website

    i sent a trouble ticket in and... lo and behold... it started working tonight

    the mini is kind of cool.

    Sorry, I live in Tokyo and only daytrade JGB and Nikkei.
    So I can't say how IB's alerts and stops would work
    over sessions as I don't use or need those functions.

    >are there any stock screeners u guys use over there?


    I started looking at fundamental screening first and found three options (all expensive, around $10k/year and up):

    (1) S&P Compustat Global
    (2) Reuters Fundamentals
    (3) Thomson Worldscope

    The above also include market data (price and volume) monthly (historical) and daily (ongoing updates)
