Hang Seng vs Nik225

Discussion in 'Index Futures' started by Jayford, Apr 17, 2006.

  1. Any of you guys use the IB feed with Ensign?

    I can bring up HSI, but not sgxnk. I have tried about a dozen permutations of the symbol. Its fine on my TWS. (SSIJ6 for example). Anyone do this?

    Australian SFI200

    Hi Folks,

    Since we are on the topic of Asian/Far-East indices, I was wondering if anyone has traded the Australian SPI200 Futures contracts. Seems like a nicely trending security but daily volume < 20,000 seems to be a drawback.

    What have your experiences (good and bad) been with this futures contract?

    TIA

    jayford,
    One perculiarity of both these markets that you won't encounter in other markets ....., they both close for lunch - how very civilised! Eating is serious business in Asia.

    In my experience the Nikkei tends not to gap after lunch but the Hang Seng often does.

    Enjoy!

  4. I like the lunch idea. Actually, I wish the US markets would only tarde a few hours per day. Cram in the price action and get it done with on high volume. Some commodities are like that.

    Thanks, I can't find where is market profile on IB. Are you talking the export to excel function? Since the output file is named as "ticker.txt"
