Which Asian futures Indices have high volume for back testing ?

Hi,

I want to test my system on Asian Future Indices.

Can you guys suggest some Asian Futures Indices with symbols & exchanges they are traded on that have high volume so that I can test them using tick & volume charts ? I subscribe to eSignal data service.

Thank You

 

Kospi futures. IB symbol k200. Not sure about esignal. They have great tick value, volume and decent range.

 

If you're using eSignal 11,
%NI225 1!-OSM
%NI225_M 1!-OSM
%TPX 1!-TPX
If you are also interested, the JGB symbol is %JGB10 1!-TPX.

 

What are the contract months ( Monthly or Quarterly ) and exchange symbol ?

Tried KRX for exchange & month U for September doesn't work.

So Symbol ( k200 U2-krx ) doesn't work.

What symbol are you using for IB ? eSignal is pretty much the same.

Thanks

It is quarterly like most index futures. In IB you enter k200 and then select the month.

 

Many Thanks.

Really appreciate your help.

I am using eSignal 10 so took out % from symbol & it works.

Still can't get Kospi 200 to work.

 

Try K2I 1!-KSP

 

Sorry, 1! doesn't work.

K2I U2-KSP

 

Thank you. It worked.
