I do not understand why IB is the only broker that gives us access to the Asian markets? Are there others? I would think that more traders would have an interest in trading these markets. Are the spreads too wide? For example, look at the Nikkei 225 on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). I believe it has a $5 minimum tick movement. Does any one know what the average spread is? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, gotta_trade
