Futures traders - consider Dax and Stoxx to your lineup!

I've recently begun discussions with Open ECry about moving my biz there. In this process I now have an incredible amount of data and markets available to look at as OEC provides data and charting to clients. And the amount of markets and data is impressive!

 

The reason for this thread however is to bring your attention to the DAX and STOXX futures contracts. Why? Simple - VERY LOW COMMISSIONS. It seems counter-intuitive to me that as a US based trader, I can get much better rates by trading in the Eurex. And we are not talking about pennies. For example, the difference between the ES and Stoxx is $1.34 round trip, per contract for the personal quote I received. Yours may vary, but it's worth looking at for sure!

 

My personal opinion of each and their US counterpart (in terms of price action) is:

DAX = ER2

STOXX = ES, NQ

 

Now, keep in mind these are NOT mini's and the actual tick value changes based on currency exchange rates depending on where you live.

 

During US based trading hours, these move in very close tandem to the US indexes. Depending on your trading methodology, it may or may not transfer over to the Dax or Stoxx so take a close look before trading real money. Liquidity is also great, esp on the Stoxx.

 

But for a savings of $1.34 round trip, it's got my attention!!! :thumbs up:

Here's a link to a post with a DAX/Stoxx tutorial put on by John Carter of Trade the Markets.

 

Should provide additional insight into these contracts.

Thats pretty cheap. You must make a lot of trades with a good amount of capital?

 

Current rates at OEC, for comparison:

Cooter, these are awsome rates. More than 20% less than IB at current exchange rates (and getting cheaper by the day :))

 

Do you know who clears e-cry on eurex? Couldn't see them listed as members.

 

Also, what is their trading platform like? I currently use BracketTrader and NinjaTrader.

 

Thanks!

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
