One Response to “What Are The Best Eurex & Globex Futures Contracts For Intra-day Trading?”
There are no real “best” contracts it depends on:
1. Contract specifications – how much is 1 tick, what’s the typical range, can you ‘afford’ to trade the contract based on your account and trading system rules (margin, position size, stops etc.)
2. Your trading style and preferences, such as speed of instrument movement.
3. Whether your edge will work on that contract, not all edges make money in all markets/instruments.
People make, and lose, money in any of the contracts.
I suggest you try 1 at a time, for 3 months at least, and then at the end of a year or two you’ll (hopefully) be able to know the answer to the 3 points above.
