unfortunately it would take a lot more than that to be profitable.
I still think that you can trade this profitable with the indicator on the price chart alone keeping your stops smaller than your targets.

My problem is that due to very small account, it makes me hesitate pulling the trigger, a few false moves could wipe out my account very quickly...
I like the dax because of it's volatility and quick moves
Try trading the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 (FESX) then. The margin requirement is usually about a forth of DAX and the tick and point size is smaller, so it's easier to manage your position size. The FDAX follows the FESX anyway (the reason they have the same volatility percentage-wise) and FESX moves are a lot smoother (since it's a lot more liquid).
