Hi GFIs1,

I'm thinking of dipping my feet in the pool and trading some FDXS ;

I understand the contract is based on the value of the DAX 30 constituents on the frankfurt exchange;

so far I've been trading the nasdaq almost exclusively even though i'm based in Ireland; I haven't really bothered with european futures as of yet.

Right now I'm trying to ensure I'm aware of the idiosyncrasies of this contract, especially catalysts for movement, what news events to pay attention to (outside of those directly affecting the DAX 30)

Currently I'm planning to pay attention to :

for France, Germany, Italy :

 

Code

CPI's Bond Auctions Money supply changes Manufacturing PMIs

For General eurozone:

 

Code

Generic Eurozone unemployment rate change IMF Meetings

Any thoughts on how these impact your trading would be cool. Thanks.

Looks not good for a trade when US as a motor of the markets is sleeping.
Europe will not have the volatility needed:
So no trade foreseen.

Happy weekend!
