hi dwt1020,

I use IB for broker and esignal for data. Many charts of various timeframes. I don't consider myself to be scalping, but i'll do typically 2-4 trades per day.

My best regards,
MK

Thanks for the response...

I forgot to ask, do you have an opinion on which session is best to trade? NY or Asian?

thanks again

Sorry for the late response dwt....I don't understand your question. The Nikkei is based off the stock market which trades in Japan local time from 0900 - 1510 with a lunch break from 1100 - 1230. Due to the lunch break, this creates 2 sessions every day.

If you are referring to the CME contract that trades in US trading hours, then I would not recommend that product as this is an after hours market and is not really any different from trading the US futs outside of RTH.

My best regards,
MK

Hi,

What are the reliable tick datafeeds (with tick historical backfill) available for mini nikkei?

MidKnight mentioned ESignal, is that the only one?

Thanks!
