Hi all,

I'm currently sim trading the Mini-DAX during the first few hours of the Euro session and finding I like the way it moves.

Does anybody scalp it live? Which session do you trade, and how do you find the executions and liquidity?

Cheers

FDXM is good market for scalping, however be careful with your stops, sometimes the price moving without actual trades and your stop loss can slip many ticks.

I traded the FDXM a few years ago with 1 - 3 lots during the Euro session. there was good liquidity from 0900 till around 1300 CET but by the NY session, the liquidity goes away. I didnīt find any problem with executions.

Thanks JohnS, that's reassuring to hear, and it's been my experience that it generally moves nicely between those hours, particularly from 09:00 to 10:00 CET
