osaka nikkei 225 mini

i am also planning to trade N225M thruogh IB ..which are traded at OSE.JPN exchange. being US resident do we have any other option.

guys give me some ideas which is better..i seee lot of volume for n225m contracts

 

You can also look at the N225 contracts that trade on the SGX.

 

thanks for the reply But what would be advantage of that... also any idea about if we can trade index future in Indian stock market

 

sgxnk has the interesting characteristics:

- bigger than mini but much smaller than big nik
- opens earlier in morning and lunchhour with gap free lunchbreaks
- sgx data is free

 

I have traded STW and I am in the US.

 

+1 to all that

i'm with IB and trade sgxnk

 

I'm sorry about the misinformation, STW is traded via Singapore Exchange (SGX), and IS AUTHORIZED for US residents to trade.

Anyone wondering, which products are available for US residents to trade, here's the link on IB's website for more info:

I know this has been discussed in the past, but does anyone know why in the world that the big Hang-Seng on the HKFE is available to US residents but NOT the mini? It just makes no sense to me. Does anyone who is a US resident have access to the mini-Hang?? MAN forbids me from trading that, but does allow me to trade the mini-Osaka N225. Seems odd.

 

Supposedly, to be approved by our CFTC, that particular foreign instrument must submit application to CFTC, and meet the guide lines laid out by CFTC. And one of the guide lines is to give the CFTC $200,000 in application fees

Apparently, Hang Seng Mini did not feel the need to give CFTC $200,000??

Even if they want $200k, it still seems strange that the big would be available and not the mini. Where is the logic in that?

Oh well - I guess you 'can't fight city hall'.
