Do you know anything about the Nikkei? It is a completely diffferent market if you are used to the US. Also those commision rates are pretty much standard right now, some brokers go as low as 80yen rt. (approx 75 cents)

With the rates shown in the link, you should save the trouble and just open an account with IB. They offer similar rates. Most Japanese firms will be distratrous when trying to communicate in english.

I'm not sure if you are taking a shot by asking if I know anything about the Nikkei. I'll choose to take the side of diplomacy and say "yes," a thing or two about it =)

The main thing I was interested in knowing was the behavior of the mini futures contract and the rates (which you mentioned already).
