And here's a copy of the presentation in .pdf format that was given by John Carter.

Use this as an excellent reference to answer all your questions about the DAX and Eurostoxx50 contracts.
Thanks, cooter. I tried to get it but Java app just hung on me. Hope it was worth the time.

Re: Any DAX and/or STOXX traders here

I Ve Been Seeing Some People Interested In Trading Dax.

I Trade Dax Only. Im Quite Experienced On This Product. Basing This Thread On My Expirience I Will Say The Following:

- Dax Is A Very, Very Volatil Future. One Of The Hardest

- The Best Time To Trade Dax Is When Usa Market Opens Till The Closing

- Because Of Its Volatility, Dax Day Traiding Is Quite Risky. After Many Attempts To Day Trade, I Finally Consider That Swing Trading Is The Best Option To Work With Dax Futures

- I Do About 1 Or 2 Entries Per Week And Hold Them Between 1 Or 4 Days. Depending On If My Position Is Based On The Long Term Market Trend Or, On A Corrective Movement Of That Trend.

- Dax Movements Are Between 30 And 50 Points (25€ Per Point). If You Are Playing The Trend This Waves Can Lead You Till 150 To 250 Points Of Profit. If You Play A Corrective Wave, The Best Is To Pick Up The 30 0r 50 Points And Exit. The Second Option It Is Normally A Day Trading Move, Not A Swinger

- As Far As I Know, There Is Not Any Tick Or Trin For This Future.

- Mornings In Dax Are Not Very Profitable, Normaly But, Depending On What Usa Market Did The Night Before You Can Estimate If To Trade Some Mornings Can Be Worth It.

- Dax Is Leaded By The Usa Market As Almost Everything. So To Trade Dax Is Necessary To Look At Usa References. I Always Do My Dax Trades Looking At The Sp Futures And Dj Transport Average.

Hopping This Can Be Useful To Someone

Best Regards,

Malvado

Open ECry has access to the Dax, among many other futures products. I would at least check out the free trial.

Ditto here, believe in the power of quitting, after 1-2 good trades.

What timeframe charts do you employ for dax, I normally look at 60/15/5, and enter via 2-3min . VSA principles work great in this market , however it is a volatile environment and trade management would have to quite different than say trading YM

Why not post some charts of morning trades, that way we can once again kick start this thread, may draw in more Dax traders to exchange ideas with.

Re: Any DAX and/or STOXX traders here

Hi all, my first post here, i,ve been looking for a DAX thread, hopefully a few more traders will participate.
I have only been interested in the DAX futures for the last 4 months and i have to say i'm hooked...still trying to find a way to scalp it with a R/R of more than at least 1/1.
The image shows my chart set up, with the only thing missing, the support/resistance lines....i try to keep things simple and rely more on discretion.DAX.JPG

I use range bars 6 or 11.5, depending on volatility
