With all the discussion taking place, I just want to confirm if it’s even a good idea to trade the CAC 40?
Most of the European index futures are quite correlated. lately, CAC40 has been moving quite substantially. And DAX has quietened quite a lot. for today I think all the European index futures moved just a tiny amount.
I suppose CAC 40 is the primary industrial nation’s benchmark stock exchange, and can be a brilliant way to judge the strength of the French economy. Having a hold on CAC 40 especially when there are national events or occurrences in France since these can have a strong impact on CAC 40.
My buddies in Europe are all about prorealtime. I think you can trade European Futures and CFDs, and also US Futures.
This is something that totally depends on the trader and the time he can devote. You can opt for scalping or day trading that will require you to stay involved in the trade all day long, or you can opt for swing trading that would require just a few hours over the weekend with a daily assessment of the upcoming data release and analysis of the chart indicators. Now, there are many reliable brokers in the market like the ones I trade with Fxview, IB, and Avatrade that give the traders the most accessible tools and trading platforms. If a broker is flexible with different trading strategies, it makes things much easier.
