Hello

I just started using Sierra Chart for 3 days and loving it!

Do you guys happen to provide tick chart data for Nikkei 225 mini futures from Osaka Exchange? if not do you know anyone who does?

I think I can execute trades via Interactive brokers, but they do not provide tick chart.



Please let me know!

Sierra Chart does not itself provide this data. Not really sure where you can get it from.

To be honest you'd be better off trading the CME versions, due to the hours open and many other issues. There are both a Dollar Denominated (NKD) and Yen (NKY) versions of these.

many other issues

If you don't mind, can you tell me about many other issues?

Well, USD/JPY is a very volatile pair these days, and anytime you are borrowing Yen to buy Yen denominated futures from your broker, (depending on which broker and how they handle this) you are paying conversion fees, and taking risk that the currency moves against you while you are in the trade. You could benefit from this also but to me, I far prefer to take 1 level of risk on a trade, price risk on the future.

Liquidity on front month NKD from CME is sufficient to trade all hrs of the day or night imo.

Good luck - J

Thanks for your answer. I didn't even think of that!. I will probably go through interactive brokers. Aren't they the only one that supports Nikkei 225 mini from osaka without going to Japan?

You can trade the Big futures in Japan with them but if you are new to this, you don't want to do that.

Please take my advice that 1-2 minis (NKD)'s are enough, it moves 1.5-3% per day, more than the Russell 2000, its enough
