  1. I don't know of any websites that list European eco. events, I'm sure there are some though. I get my info from my bloomberg terminal.

    I'll post the economic events for the week every Sunday. Will that do?

    Thanks Mark,
    How do I get level II for dax and what am I looking at. Does it give the actual dax or am I looking at some of the main stocks that make up the index?
    IB has level II for Eurex availble for a reasonable price, and in fact a couple of months ago I subscribed to it but never got around to trying it.
    I guess the bllomberg teminal you were talking about is expensive?

  7. There are a bunch of platforms that offer depth of market, TT, PATS, I know there are add ons for IB, but don't know what they are. The depth of market I'm talking about is on the DAX futures.

    The bloomberg is about $2300 a month with a T-1.

  8. 180 x 180 = 62.5 euro (gross) -261.5 euro(net)


    I' m made some money on the short side in the first 45 min. Then gave it all back and more in the chop after 3:30am central time. I found myself getting upset and frustrated. I got totally out of sync with the market and cut back my size to one lots. The rest of the day I dinked around with one lots and got back some of the money I lost early on.

    I'm pretty upset with myself this should've been a good day. I came in with a short bias, but I found myself trying to be cute playing for bounces, I had my plan and I strayed awat from it.

  9. Does the DAX contract rollover occur at the same time the ES/NQ do? Should I currently watch the December or March DAX?
