Good advice from AgeKay. I'm not sure what exactly a 'small account' is but the
DAX can rip through several thousand euros/contract in seconds. It's certainly no place to be with a small account.
I have been trading the FTSE a little recently thats intresting 'feels' more like the
DAX than
Stoxx. I shelved the
DAX several months back as it was just behaving oddly (to me) with strange volumes (block trades probably) and some quite erratic movements.
