The title of the thread gives away my preference for the smooth movement of the ESTX50; the lower amount of noise in the price signal leads to better trade decision making on my part (as opposed to the hurry-up feeling of being behind the power curve). I have an idea of how I would rank US eMinis on a smooth-movement versus twitchy-movement scale, but I'd like a little extra input.
=============== AmT; Might name ES smoother than most; not necessarily smooth, all the time .Highly liquid for sure. Moving averages also can help smooth a trend; especally if used with discretion murray TT
Someone called DAX â dancing DAX, and I totally agree. I also primarily trade STOXX now because it is not as jumpy and the volume is huge. From what I see 30-40 contracts a clip is not an issue at almost any time. These are the same reasons why I like ES, but I can only trade Europe open, so stick to STOXX. redduke
