I'm new to learning about futures and the only time I have available to watch/trade the markets is morning here in Australia. Which futures would be the best to trade during this time and which futures have the highest volume during this time? Would the best option be one of mini Nikkei, ASX mini SPI?

Are there any brokers that offer demo accounts in which I can access level 2 data for these markets or would I have to pay for data?

I see IB has low commissions for trading these markets. Are there other brokers that are comparable in price? Every broker I have looked at doesn't have them available or they charge much more that IB.

Thanks for your help.

I use a combination of AMP Clearing and IB to trade the SPI and HKFE products.
