Any successful intraday Dax traders here?

Aj2014

I've been trading the NQ with a little success but am based in Europe at the moment and would like to trade the Dax.
However, I've been demo trading it for a while now and I can't get a thing right with it.

The way I read the price action on the NQ doesn't seem to work on the Dax.

I always thought that Price action work on all markets, but with the Dax I get stopped out again and again.

Can any successful Dax traders give any hints or maybe share a few days wirth of charts with entries etc to give me an idea? I tend to use mainly a 5min chart, as well as a longer timeframe for general trend ideas, and a tick chart to try to fine tune entries.
 
There is a really good thread from about 10-11 tars back on DAX, by a guy named Scientist. It is very long, and has tons of useful info. Read it. I personally traded DAX about 7-8 tears ago. Its moves are fantastic, but it is too thin for me.

Anyone got a link to this day thread ??
 
Dax trades as it does cause of volume, which is less than US Nasdaq and Dow, so any time volume less, you have to risk more, it is like lunch time in ES. How bout Ditch suggested Euro Stoxx 50 and Euro Bund and Euro Bobl

Can be how you entering, if you doing breakouts that requires much more protective stops
and often where you getting it, those who got in on deeper retracements are getting out where you getting in.
 
Someone told me to place 100 trades and then see how it looks.
Took me about 1 month.
I'm green, but the numbers don't scream 'edge' to me.

You're doing better than me!
I just find it impossible.
Can anyone suggest any daytrading methods that don't include charts/TA, as I tend to do a LOT worse than random when I use technical analysis.
Today, for example! Only 1 trade got even close to my target. (7th trade which had a MFA of 30)

barcadia,

Have you backtested your trade method on other trading instruments to determine if something else is more suitable to trade than the FDAX futures ?
