Hello Everyone,
I live on East Coast of US, but work during the day. I am looking for futures contracts to trade at night or very early morning. I have read that trading the mini-Hang Seng Index might be an option, but was wondering if anyone had suggestions for some other instruments to trade that have decent volume/volatility ? Anything else in Asia or Australia perhaps? Eurex?
Thanks in advance.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Gold has nice moves during the Asian session.
Eurex is closed at this time, it opens at 1 am CT, but in some weeks, the Eurex will extend their trading-hours.

CL has some decent moves sometimes at the beginning of the Euro session @ 9pm EST .
6E too, but maybe not as fast or liquid as it used to be..

CME BTC futures do not trade 24/7, Are you referring to another future player? would be curious on that
Hope its available to everyone and not restricted like most Bitcoin exchanges are

Here's a dozen european contracts that would be liquid very early morning (starting 3am ept/euro open)
