ninjatrader, euro-stoxx and New Zealand

[lwclasses]

Hi all,

I live in New Zealand, (great place!) and our time zone is almost the exact opposite to the US and the ES trading times (my 1.30am - 7.30am) (Real shame!!). I have been going through a course that trains in the ES, and has a set of indicators that run in Ninjatrader. I am (pleasantly but the looks of the product) forced to look at the euro-stoxx instead, and that is where my question lies.

I need to find a broker where I can use Ninja trader, and will actually BE OPEN during euro-stoxx trading hours (i guess that's important?), and has the obvious stuff like good margins, commissions etc...

HELP!

Honestly anyone that knows anything that could possibly help me would be greatly appreciated. I am finding it difficult to get past this point.

Big thanks in advance

Velocity Futures and Global Futures are two that I use but any FCM should offer you good margin and commissions and obviously be open during the trading day. You do know that the ES trades 23 1/2 or so hours a day?

I think they both offer Ninja Trader, I have it through Velocity.

Thanks PBoyles,

Yeah but I figured the overnight session might not have enough volume for a beginner like me. I was looking for a European based broker that would definitely be open during these hours. I was going to go with Mirus but I think they are US trading hours only. So some of the US brokers will be open 24Hours and is the overnight staff all I will need for support?

Thanks

Global are definitely available European hours, in fact I would assume that any that trade a eurex instrument would have someone available. Give a few of them a shout in the morning, most seem to have live chat.

Great idea. I think that's exactly what I will do.

Thanks pboyles
