http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/in...ide&web=iqfeed (search for "mini nikkei" in all exchanges)

Also, I know you asked for tick data, but IB does carry the mini nikkei, not sure which exchange(s) though. But it's not tick data.

Re: Mini Nikkei Futures?

IMHO, do not bother with SGX contract, at least not for charting and taking trade signals from. Stick to where the real volume is, which is Osaka. Because of that, you don't want to use IQFeed because they only offer SGX. I tried and tried to lobby them to expand their international markets to Osaka and Tokyo but Jay was not interested. Because of that, I left them and went to esignal. esignal is the best priced for a retail chump like me. CQG and bloomberg cost a lot.

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting don't trade on SGX (I sometimes do), but only suggesting that basing trade decisions from the market where the volume is - which is Osaka. The mini does great volume, and by value, the bigs do a lot more.

I hope this helps some.

With kind regards,
MK
