I've been trading the
DAX for years. Its probably one of the hardest markets to master, but the most rewarding.
Its become two markets now: The european one from 8am German time until about noon. Then lots of U.S. players join and it gets more volatile with autotrading by computers changing its nature.
Can be a VERY whippy market but you can make 100 euro on a 1 lot in a blink if you are a scalper. Usually, trading in 5 lots works for scalping for me.
I paid a lot to learn this market and know many who could not get profitable before they quit.
Volume now is very good.
There is no tick or trin that i know of but I wouldn't use them anyway.
STOXX follows
DAX more or less. These two are like ER2 and YM.
Hope this helps.
