  1. Could anybody tell me the hours of operation for this exchange.

    I understand there is a one hour break in the middle of the trading day? hard to believe..

    Thanks !!
     
  2. You are correct that SGX takes a one hour break - the hours can be found at their web site (access via interactivebrokers if u cant find it). FWIW the SGX NK opens at 9:45, closes at 12:15, opens at 1:15, and goes very quiet at 4:30 (Queensland, Aus, Time).

    The hang seng has a two hour lunch break.

    Some parts of the world are still civilized :)
     
  3. This is very common with Asian exchanges. Tokyo stock exchange has an hour and a half break.

     

  4. check da charts, innit[?]

    u can see a series of unch candles that signal da pause between first'n'seconf half of da session..look at da time on da chart bottom'n'u done.

    Wasn't aware of these day brakes. And yes they seem like a more civilized strategy to deal with hunger...

    In the case of strong trending days, US markets seem like a good leading indicator for the SGXNK. Though it doesn't look like there is a premarket. I do see a couple of blips at 7:30pm or so.
     
  9. In account management you may need to 'subscribe' to the free data ....
