I just signed up for the data feed (Eurex), but I have not been unable to find some info on the futures. I opened an account at IB, waiting for check to clear, I have an account at Tradestation (which is where I signed up for the eurex) but I cannot find any information on margin and how tradestation deals with currency. I have to call intraday today and speak to someone.
Here is some info from IB on index and its futures/options: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/education/commodityProductsReview.php?ib_entity=llc#dax Margins are substantially higher than on ES/ER2/YM.
JSSPMK, hope you enjoyed your apparent day off (yesterday) quick question: what length bars in the chart you posted? Did you look at yesterday's FDAX action? I use Woodie's Pivot Points (same as classic pivots until R3), the R2 was 8189.00, high print was 8188.50.
It was pretty good, TY 1 min I try to save every day's data I only pay most attention to daily pivot, but I also have R1,R2 on chart. There are quite a few variations of the standard calculation, I just use standard one.
When price action develops 2 min chart is very good to see short term formations, I enter using 1 min chart for better entries, scale out to keep profit profitable.
