Bund, Bobl or FESX on Eurex may suit, but only open an hour before London so may not be early enough or you

Re: Futures Markets (not US)

Personally I love the EuroFX, 6E. If you stick to the Euro open and NYSE open there are a plentiful of setups and liquidity to go around. Over the years between using both the ES and 6E I've found my trading is much more consistent, because a slow day in the ES may be offset by a big day in the Euro. Or a big day in both.

Re: Futures Markets (not US)

Today on the IB SIM we have the STW, the K200, and MHI. Each one with time and sales, the open book, and a simple chart.

Love my screen time...just need some wake up volume!

Cheers,

Just a tax note for those who pay U.S. taxes. If you trade futures on a foreign exchange, this disqualifies your tax return from being filed electronically.

I have no idea why this rule is in place, but it is.

The MHI is the mini heng sent that you were looking for....something like 2 aud per tick...The initial margin is like 15k hk dollars and the maintenance margin is another 12k hk dollars. So a 10k account should handle it. Still a bit under capitalized if you asked me personally though.
