We see that NKD exists only in demo, and is not listed here:

http://futures.gaincapital.com/trading/specifications.cfm (Indices)

We are prepared to drop support for it, as it appears to be demo only contract.

However, we want to confirm with you that you will not be supporting NK in the future, and only NKD.

Our reason for confirming is that the daily volume on NK is much higher than that of the daily volume on NKD, at least in the data you provide.

To restate our question:

Will Gain be supporting the NK variation of the Nikkei contract in the future for real accounts?

If so, if there's any other info you can provide about NK vs. NKD, that might be helpful; the CME symbol specs for Nikkei contain both these symbols, as if they were the same contract:

We note the api gives back different bars for each of them, and that the currency type is different.

Thanks,
