Asian daytrading makes a comeback

I have a question.

In IB, if you want to get the quotes on the nikkei 225 futures in the singapore sgx, do you get trade permissions for singapore or japan?

thanks.

 

u don't need to subscribe to anythin'; data for sgx is free of charge: if u have an acct with ib just type da symbol sgxnk--futs--june--2006 and u ready to go.

enjoy

 

But if ur trading the sgx, get the singapore data and the singapore trade permissions.

 

what for?

u already have 'em.

 

Thanks guys.

interesting article. missed it earlier.

 

when trading asian futures through IB, aside from the w8-ben form (i'm not a US citizen and dont live in the US), are there any other forms/things that need to be completed?

 

all required documents would be listed in the account mgmt section of the document. Certain markets will require additional risk disclosures, data feed agreements etc.
