In your own opinion:

1) what futures market give the largest and smoothest intraday trends, with good liquidlity?

2) what futures market do you trade? And why do you trade them?

Just list the conditions/situations or state your cases if your answer is a bit complex.

Thank you. :D
 
dax and russel have good intra day volatility, and you can trade anywhere around 10 cars a clip. Dax more like 5 cars. This size assumes almost no slipage.

For large liquidity you have DJ Euro Stoxx and S&P emini, there you can trade easily 50 cars a clip.

Here comes that word 'trend' again. What you are talking about intraday is volatility. Of course if you want to call as 'trends', the gyrations, up and down, that occur that is up to you. A sustained direction is better utilized by playing only the bigger gyration/s of the trading day.

For your purposes YM will give you both liquidity and often
strong volatility.

nothing intraday but over a period of days oil, heat, grain calendar spreads all trend well. the NQ(2)/ES spread looks great too.

Oh, sorry.

But how about calling them intraday trends? :D

By the way, I prefer a smooth one-way volatility instead of swinging up and down.

S&P E-mini is the most liquid market in the world. I don't investigate much, however, the market seems to be quite choppy.

What do you think?

I have no idea about DJ Euro Stoxx. What is its volatility? How does it perform?
 
the only reason for some1 to trade es is if he's really good at it and can take advantage of the enormous liquidity available or if he's on his way to become really good at it; otherwise this is imo the worse contract traded in us.
