    somewhat compareable to the ES? Thanks....

    Thanks... I was just looking at the DAX FDAX correct? It did not look like it had alot of movement at least right now but maybe thats just me. Does it have good volatility at times? Thanks..

    Typically movement in the DAX starts to pick up after 3am NY time......as you'll notice if you look at the volume data.

    For example: look at a 2 or 5 min chart of the DAX between 1am and 3am.

    before 3am(NY time) volume is pretty low, but once 3am comes around, it picks up.
     
  5. Also look at:

    Afternoon to early morning:

    STW (taiwan)
    Nikkei
    SPI (aus)
    HSI
    KOSPI


    Early morning:

    ESTX50
    Bund
    DAX
    Eurfx

  8. The SPI is a good one (Aussie exchange) opens at 8pm ET. It moves quite smoothly and is influenced a lot by what the US index futures are doing.

    It also has a tendency to open at extreme levels where a babboon could make money fading.
