Ok, I'll try to bring it back on topic 1) We're trading from an office here in Moscow and have a DSL connection (MTU-Intel for those who know: www.tochka.ru). For the last couple of months we had 1 day when the connection was lost for the 3.5 hours. It was in the local day time so it didn't...

I am trading DAX futures almost every day thanks to the convenient time difference (trading on DAX starts 11 am local Moscow time) and do find it less noisy and better manageable than ES. I have come to a conclusion that too many participants in ES seem to greatly decrease the effectiveness of...
