Trading the Nikkei 225 Futures/options (need Advice)

Hi

So basically I'm fairly new to futures trading, I've been trading options for about two years now. Mostly I stick to trading equities.

But I've noticed that if the DOW has a significant down or up day the Nikkei follows suit on the next day (that night in America). Now of course this can only happen in Japan on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

So basically what I want to do is trade options or futures on the days that I identify this trend. I'm looking for the best way to capitalize off this and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out.

I would need to purchase these options/futures at the tail end of the American trading day and before the markets open in Japan, does anyone know how I could achieve this?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
