Euro Stoxx 50 Timeframes

Recommended Posts

I've been looking at a multitude of differnt time periods from time based to tick, volume, etc. with out coming to any firm conclusion. I would appreciate any advice or feedback from other Euro Stoxx 50 traders as to an intraday time period that seems to work best on a consistent sort of basis for the Stoxx, i.e. 5 min, 233 tick, etc. Many thanks.

mmhh an interesting question . time frames are not easy. there are many approaches however from how ive been taught and actually trading it, there are several good time frames.

 

the key to the time frames is the system , stratedy your using. i dont trade ticks , generally i will trade in minutes time frames and gnerally sue multiple time frames to fully gear my positions short term.

 

so mu suggestion is work out some basics,

 

1 can you simualate your strategy

2. can you test it ? and there fore can you test in different time frames

3. you must work out your risk to positions and useof stops involved vs. your allocation.

4 once you have this , you can find time frames which work well, above all you MUST know what your daily and weekly trend / direction is !! coz if you are short term and you are trading against the daily trend YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR MONEY ....

 

im not giving you my time frames , traders dont give out tiimefrmaes that work : ) what i can say is shorter time frames are generally above 4 mins per bar in the dax / stoxx

 

good luck
