Mini Nikkei Futures?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have access to mini Nikkei futures data? Unfortunately Tradestation does not provide this data. I am looking to obtain a snapshot of a weekly, daily, 30min, 5min, and 30min market profile chart (approx 10 days back) of the mini Nikkei. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

IB provides the data but you need to subscribe to the Osaka Securities Exchange for about $10 a month. I don't subscribe any more. I have eSignal 15 minute data is a .csv file for the full-sized Nikkei between 24/10/06 and 15/01/07 if that's any interest to you. The full sized and the mini have practically identical data as they're both electronic contracts.

You can get a week of historical data from IB by downloading their TWS software and using the username edemo and the password demouser. Symbol for mini Nikkei is N225M.

Good one, nosast. And since futuresource.com is now part of the same company as eSignal, these feeds should be available through them.

 

Soul, you might want to check with your contact at eSignal, since you have a discount available for us.

That website appears only to have the out-of-hours Nikkei futures offered by the CME and SGX. The only Nikkei contract really worth trading is the one offered by the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE).

The mini Nikkei traded at the OSE is alot more liquid compared to the Simex. The Simex is handy though to look at market action premarket before the Osaka Exchange opens and during the lunch hours when the OSE halts.

You need to add OSE to your data subscriptions. It's about $10. N225M is the IB symbol for the mini Nikkei. Just google Osaka Securities Exchange for the English website.

Decent size. Around your YM or ER2 volume, no?

Hi SoulTrader,

 

I have been trading the Nikkei225 for a while now. Started with the singapore contract but now use the mini. I'm charting the Singapore contract (because I'm with DTN IQFeed who only offer Singapore for Asian markets) and trading the mini. Works great!

 

Best regards,

MK

That is true Soultrader, is does about 1/2 of the mini volumes on a daily basis. But you must remember, it is worth 5 times the value....Great points on pre-market trading, very useful indeed.

 

Best regards,

MK

I'm interested in this too.

It looks like the mini nikkei moves in 500 yen tick sizes so thats about 5 bucks USD a point?

Soultrader did you ever get a market profile snapshot? I think if you got the data from IB you could use ninja trader and that MP addon reaver mentioned in his thread in the beginner forum to get the profile.

I guess tradestation is out though if you want to trade the mini?

Maybe IB, multicharts for all the easy language stuff, ninja with the MP addon...I don't know. That much stuff going might get hairy.

I came across this broker in Japan for trading mini nikkei futures. Commissons are dirt cheap. Anyone care to shed light on this? I'm based in Vietnam so instead of trading the US sessions it would be wonderful to keep normal hours and shift my trading to the morning rather than the late late evening.

Do you know anything about the Nikkei? It is a completely diffferent market if you are used to the US. Also those commision rates are pretty much standard right now, some brokers go as low as 80yen rt. (approx 75 cents)

 

With the rates shown in the link, you should save the trouble and just open an account with IB. They offer similar rates. Most Japanese firms will be distratrous when trying to communicate in english.

I'm not sure if you are taking a shot by asking if I know anything about the Nikkei. I'll choose to take the side of diplomacy and say "yes," a thing or two about it =)

 

The main thing I was interested in knowing was the behavior of the mini futures contract and the rates (which you mentioned already).

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
