Greetings, maxinger,

What’s your favourite index future in Europe?

I already trade ES, but am considering expanding to another contract.

Thank you.

Thank you.

these are my favorites which I trade actively :

dax
cac40
omxs30
DJ Euro stoxx50 / FESX
FTMIB

occasionally I'd look at these:
AEX Amsterdam
BEL 20
Stoxx 600 index <<< volume quite low


FTSE is definitely tradable but I didn't subscribe to its data.

Thank you.

How's the liquidity/moves on the OMXS30?

I just checked the chart and it looks fairly smooth, so I assume there's good volume.

We have a futures contract on the index here in Oslo, too. OBX futures. But last I checked the liquidity is terrible and not many offer it for trading.

omxs30 liquidity is very good.
I think its volume is higher than cac40 and dax.

in fact, yesterday omxs30 was the best for trading because its movement
was trendy (not choppy).
dax was very choppy.

the symbol for esignal is
OMXS30.C H22-OMF

the symbol for IB is
OMXS302C

That's great, @maxinger.

I'm going to research OMXS30 moving forward then and see if it's something I can start trading in addition to ES. Cleaner trends (rare on ES) is arguably easier to trade.

do note that at times, omxs30 could be choppy.

happy trading European index futures.

I'll do some research and testing first of course. I'd like to pull up some charts and see what it looks like and how it integrates with what I'm already doing on ES.

Do you trade with Interactive Brokers?

I'm pretty sure my current broker (Ninjatrader) does not offer OMXS30, so need to find a broker as well.

Those who traded European index futures during the US session should be happy.
