Howdy, SGXNK is great for daytrading. I use to trade it heavily in the past. One reason it was terrific was because it was convenient for my schedule in the evenings. Additionally, there's another popular Nikkei instrument on the Osaka exchange. http://www.ose.or.jp/e/futures/ind_225mini.html This one too is fun and easy to trade.
