    Neither Ib and MF global are KRX member.So,the commission cost could be higher than members.If your don't want to open account at native korea broker.Maybe you could try Newedge.

    Copy from newedge website:

    This seems really expensive. I wish the CFTC would just allow all foreign futures!

  9. I set up my Ninja Trader as you illustrated but I don't get intraday data. Is there something else I have to do? :confused:

    Did you mark KSE in exchange list when setting up instrument? Did you subscribe for KSE in IB data access? Charts like volume, range and tick will only load in real time. Fixed time charts will load historically, Unfortunately, IB does not store tick data.

    If it still does not work, post the screen shots of your set up.
