    OSE is the native exchange. Trading NKD and NIY on CME is definitely doable but it's like trading ES on OSE (if they had such a thing).

    Is there an international broker that offers trading on OSE?

    Darn. I wish I had access to the book, I have no idea how much liquidity that can be.

    Also if you're really going to be trading 100 lots then you should consider the N225 full contract on OSE. There's another mid-size contract on SGX called SGXNK. I believe the liquidity is decent but probably similar to CME in that OSE wins.

    IB.

    Just looked at your profile page. At 19 years old I imagine you meant 100 contracts of the Mini, as the margin for the Large would be $580,000 on OSE.

    The problem is, I am not able to use IB since I'm not an US-resident nor an US-citizen, nor I live in the US, I'm a foreign investor.

    Yes, you are indeed correct. Sorry.

    Last time I checked I couldn't open an account with them, but I'll contact them again, next Monday.

    I can't think of any location based scenario in which someone would be able to open a TD account but not an IB account. TD would be even more restrictive.
