Choice of Brokers

Hi

Would anyone care to share their first-hand experience trading electronically the HSI and Nikkei (SGX and OSE) contracts with a broker based in or outside the US, other than interactive brokers? For example, do any members here trading online use MF Global in Singapore or Hong Kong?

It seems that there are relatively few brokers offering these contracts for electronic trading, despite their rapidly increasing popularity amongst traders in the US and Europe.

Thanks.

if you are not based in Hong Kong or Singapore...
Stay with interactive brokers. It will save you a lot of headaches later on.
