OHLC : good call idea ! I am daytrading, mainly the ES, from Brussels on my own, not with a firm..... Any other future traders around ? Eddy
For 3 yrs I was trading the US markets, mostly the eminis, believing I was trading the ultimate thing. Now I've discovered that I'm actually sitting on top of the ultimate trading vehicles - the DAX, ESTX50, CAC40 and not to forget the footsie! (I still enjoy the eminis as well...)
Trading ES (part time) from N. Ireland. Norway2000 - what do you like about DAX, ESTX50, CAC40 - over eminis?
1contract - ditch said it. And that goes for the DAX as well - actually the DAX is awsome. But as it invites to huge profits, it also put you in danger of severe losses. But the main thing for me when I started out in Europe as an addition to the US markets, I suddenly had so much more time and opportunities for good setups. In other words - I managed to cut down on my previous overtrading - which of course is one of many factors necessary to become successful.
Norway2000. I have just looked at the Stoxx 50 futures chart for today,sx2z, it's hopeless.......no volume. I trade dax and ftse and agree with you about dax a great contract Jack
