  1. What would be the approximate commissions and margin requirements for trading the DAX? I would be flat at the close.

    By the way, alain: what does the word "aggresive" mean in your post, "volatile"? The level of volatility can't be the only thing to look for when you choose instrument to trade.
    The most important thing is: how much money the best system can earn trading some instrument? I dont care if its aggresive contract or less aggresive.

    trade your system in real time with real money... not in the history. Backtesting does only give you an indication that the parameters you are using could work in the future. But they don't give you the information on how the real picture in the markets is!

    Try the dax and the eurostoxx in real time with real money and then you will see the difference.
