Contracts that trade in EST evening?

    This seems like it should be a simple question, but Google hasn't turned up much.

    What are some futures contracts that are actively traded between, say, 4PM - 12AM EST? Doesn't have to be index futures - commodities and currencies are OK.

    I've been daytrading the ES profitably with a simple system, and I'd like to study how it works on some other contracts.

    SPI - AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE 200 INDEX


    STW - TAIWAN INDEX
     
  3. They are two of the best though the SPI is a big contract compared to the Eminis. Not much happens our time in commodities or currencies.
     
  4. what is the liquidity like
     
  5. The spi is a bit thin but the STW trades over 50k as does the HSI though if you want liquidity go for the Kospi 200 which does over 300k a day but not sure you can from the US
     
  6. you can get movement in various futures in that time frame

    however there are also times when those contracts are standing still and it is like watching "paint dry"
