Hi,

I'm looking for a market I can trade after work (meaning after 5PM EST), the ES is not liquid enough during those hours and I thought trying something from Asia, I just don't know what...
I'm looking for a liquid market and something I can trade as US resident.
Besides, any special regulations I should be aware of?

Thx,
Yuval.

I found that mini crude (QM) and the euro future (6E) can be hit or miss as far as liquidity, but those are the two that I watch after hours.

In Asia, the Kospi 200 is liquid and so are the Osaka Nikkei products. The Nikkei products are a little more liquid than the K200. See you there!

HSI... action guaranteed.

What kind of liquidity do you need in order to trade?

on the 1 min chart I posted, it is showing an average volume of 362 per bar.
it works out to ~6 contracts per second.
that's a far cry from ES... LOL.

I guess as long as you don't trade more that 3 contracts at a shot, you are ok.


p.s. it is a big contract anyway... you don't want to go too deep into it.

Thx all, I am still learning and need an active/moving market, I am not trading big...

Ths Nikkei and HSI looks good, I see that I can trade it with IB, how all the currency conversion is done?

I look at the trading hours of the HSI and do I see a lunch break???? (9:45 am - 12:30 pm & 2:30 pm - 4:15 pm)
