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.

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)
