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).

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
