The eurostoxx is an awesome product, spreads are almost always 1 point. You can get list of constituents at http://www.stoxx.com/info/reports/2002/selection2002.html

Does 1 pt. on the DAX equal 25 Euros, or am I mistaken?
Another idea would be to lower the daytrading margins on
Eurex contracts.
For example :
The volatility is low and the 12 500 ⬠deposit per DAX contract seems high (500 points!) compared to its true range...

It appears that the Dax is much more volatile than the other indices. Each point movement would be around $23 U.S. Looks like a lot of bang for the buck!
Well I daytraded it a lot with REFCO and made money but that is right it is far more aggressive than the Nasdaq ...
But I do think the deposit is far too high with regards to the current market conditions...

yeah, alain - eurostoxx is less aggresive... 
My backtesting shows that systems on dax futures give higher profit in the same period ( from June 2001 to March 2002 ) with much lower max drawdown than systems on estxx futures.
I don't care that 3 or 4 traders loose money trading dax.
If someone tells me that "my friend lost half of his money trading NQ, so DON'T EVEN TOUCH NQ" - I will not listen to him.
The only way to verify which instrument is better to trade is backtesting, not listening to other people comments.
More, it all depends on your trading style, system you use, acct size, etc.
