I need help with some clauses from customer agreement. I never traded futures before, and want to double check few items that caught my eye, if they are Ok to agree with. I really appreciate help with this. Customer further acknowledges that the IB introducing the accounts to FCM (futures...

Jessie Livemore was a great speculator, but not the greatest, just one of the most famous ones. If you read Market Wizards, Schwager mentions few times that his interviews are with traders that he was able to find or was introduced to, but there are many more that are not known to general...

Anyone knows e-signal symbol for bund?

I have asked above questions over a week ago, and found the answers by speaking to Eurex US (nice pips there, spent quite some time talking to me). I’ll post the answers here in case someone needs them too. 1) There are no limits, but there is something called Volatility Interrupt. The...

Can anyone answer these questions? I thought they are very easy.

I have several questions for experienced DAX traders: 1) Are there any limit up/down on DAX? I tried finding it on Eurex site, but did not see this info. 2) Current contact expires on March 17th, when should we switch to trading next one? I mean from intra day trading prospective. 3) Are...

Interesting read. I always listen to such statements with a grain of salt of course. I remember hearing many experts on radio, at the time of NASDAQ being at its hight, that we will see 6000 level very soon. But I keep this info on the back on my mind. Would not want to go long on morning like...

Citykid, I had 5 trades today. 1 big winner, 2 smaller winners and 2 very small losers.

FuturesTrader71, These are sim trades, and its my first week of DAX trading. I use x_trader and with 1 contract, I think I would have the same fills if it was real. redduke

Just finished reading this thread. Big thanks to everybody who contributed. I am very new to DAX and looking forward to trade this market. This thread gave me some insights on what to expect. Still need to digest all info that I got. Scientist, any chance in resurrecting this thread. You have...

Another great morning 42 ticks. Very interested in this market.

Preston Forbes, Thanks for the info. I'll give German forum a shot. Never tried reading forums with translators. redduke

Ksonsink, I started at the open (3am my time) and traded for about 3 hours. I can not give any advices on this market, and I’m a total newbie trading futures and DAX. I trade of 3 and 1 min charts. These are the time frames which I use for forex. I went over morning sessions for as...

First day trading DAX (sim mode of course). Got 48 ticks out on 1 contract. Plenty of trading opportunities in this market. Big learning curve ahead of me though, since I never traded futures before. redduke

ksonsinc, I also went to expo yesterday. Few new companies, few bucket shops, the rest were the same crowd as last year. citykid, I would not make my decisions based on news. I used to in forex and got burned. My primarily focus on news it be on sidelines when they come out. I have...

Everyone Thanks for contributing. May be we can turn this thread into a hub for DAX traders. There must be a lot of little things that can help new traders to avoid some pitfalls. I am not talking about solid strategy, money management and so on, this is a must to begin with. I currently...

FuturesTrader71, DAX consists of 30 companies, and following all of them would be major info overload for me. I trade on short term basis from few minutes to 1 hour (forex). 1 hour is quite rare for me. I plan to trade DAX on sort term as well. My concern is to be out when news that can...

FuturesTrader71 This is where I get my weekly news calendar. Can you please elaborate on where I can see corp. news that reflect DAX. Is there a central hub somewhere? Thanks, redduke

Thanks for this info guys, it will be a while before I will do such volume, Will paper trade to test waters and then 1 contract for quite some time. But my goal is obviously to trade volume. One of the rules which I have when I trade forex is to be flat before news come out, GDP, interest...

Hello, I’m intraday forex trader and currently looking into adding DAX as my other trading instrument. Based on what I read in/out commission is around $4 and the spread is 1/2 point. I am curious to find out what kind of slippage I will be looking at if I trade 30-50 contracts at a...
