Hi. Just saw your post from a while back on trading the nikkei based on previous day's dow movement. this is something i have just started to look into. did you ever come up with a way of trading it
interactive brokers seem to offer options on nikkei. it could also potentially be traded using other asia pacific indices (austraila, honk kong, sth korea etc.). the us indices on ecbot or globex also trade with some kind of volume overnight (not sure about the optons). currency moves could also potentially used as a proxy as they sometimes move along with the indices (eurjpy, usdjpy or eurusd).

Hi So basically I'm fairly new to futures trading, I've been trading options for about two years now. Mostly I stick to trading equities. But I've noticed that if the DOW has a significant down or up day the Nikkei follows suit on the next day (that night in America). Now of course this can only happen in Japan on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So basically what I want to do is trade options or futures on the days that I identify this trend. I'm looking for the best way to capitalize off this and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out. I would need to purchase these options/futures at the tail end of the American trading day and before the markets open in Japan, does anyone know how I could achieve this? Any and all help greatly appreciated.
