  1. Are you trading for institution?
    Do you trade DAX or other futures?

    From a liquidity perspective I consider the ESTX50 quite attractive.

    However would you mind explaining to me why you choose to daytrade an instrument that has such a huge tick size? Your size doesn't make liquidity a concern. Compared to the DAX it's like 10 times wider and about 4 times wider than the CAC40 (which trades very similarly to the stoxx50 btw).

    Edit: Oh by the way you're in Belgium then celebrating the French meddlers liberating you after we conquered you in 7 days then eh? :D

    Locutus> I'm actually dutch, but living and working in Belgium.

    The only reason that I trade the ESTX50 fut. and spot EUR.USD is because I receive quality analysis on them.

    Goedemiddag dan.

    The ESTX50 correlates very well with the CAC40 and good with the DAX. Analysis on the ESTX50 should apply to all core European equity indices afaik. It seems like a costly affair to me to daytrade the ESTX50.
