    I'll look into the Nikkei. Hang Seng is not bad, but a little thin in my opinion.

    Do IB have the korean curency on their fx service so I can make good my losses/ profits from the kospi? I presume the kospi trades in the local currency.

    does anyone have historical data of KOPSI so that i can backtest some systems and see how differently it behaves in Korea?

    ozzy,

    korean futures/options do not have CFTC approval. Thus as a US resident, you will not be able to trade them.

    "Thus as a US resident, you will not be able to trade them".

    Is this correct ?, the US Goverment will not let anyone who is resident trade certain markets ?.

    Glad im not a US Resident

    So much for freedom!.
