Hi Brixen, I am not sure why the ASB tennis is not on this year. I know the players would have had to have spent 14 days in controlled isolation on arrival, but we have had tours from both the West Indies and Pakistan cricket teams and they both ...

DAX Futures March 2021

Hi Brixen, even for last March that seems a really good overnight margin rate! I thought it was set by Eurex (the exchange)? Reason is that my broker (US based) is quoting US$49,600 (circa E$40,600) for ONE DAX contract overnight margin (or US$2,500 ...

Today FDAX is now full points like FDXM ie no half points on FDAX anymore

DAX Futures March 2021

True, volume for whole session so far is 42.5% of the 15 day average for this point in the day. FESX is a little better at 60%.

DAX Futures December 2020

Morning Brixen (Monday here already), Well I guess in a way they are. We have no cases of Covid in the wider community. The cases we do have are 'imported' ie they are NZers returning to live here. But those people returning are in forced isolation ...

What about something like Bose 'over the ear' Noise Cancelling headphones without any music playing - ie just using them for the background noise cancelling feature?

DAX Futures December 2020

Evening Brixen, does your broker CFD provider offer a CFD onb the DAX Futures price though? Mine does, so it offers a CFD for both the DAX Cash and the DAX Futures December contract. Spread is 1.0 on the Cash and 2.0 on the Futures. They have ...

DAX Futures December 2020

[apologies to Dutchy for the questions in his thread related to another poster] Hi Hutch, 1/ what software are you using? 2/ is the instrument a CFD equivalent of the DOW? 3/ what is the significance of a 67 minute timeframe when you are 'printing' ...

Evening Brixen, Is that your brokers rule or stipulation that you can't trade the Asian session, or just your own rule from your trading plan?

Great video that one. Filmed at a concert in Lyon, France with his youngest son on drums. The sax player is an Australian woman.

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Hi Brixen, what is driving/producing the red and blue ticks?

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Good evening (for you) Brixen, A general question about CFD vs. Futures: From what you have posted previously FDXM is one fifth the FDAX and CFD's are one fifth of the FDXM. On that basis does your Italian broker apply a margin to each day trade in ...

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Hi Dutchy, So is trading your only source of income ie you don't have employment or other type of business supplementing the futures trading business?

Swing Trades DAX/DOW/NQ/GOLD

Thanks Dutchy. I have replied to Brixen's reply in his thread as well. In NZ futures trading losses are deductible and can be offset against other income earned (eg salary or interest received). If you have no other income to offset the losses ...

Swing Trades DAX/DOW/NQ/GOLD

Thanks Brixen that was a great reply. I perhaps should state the NZ tax position on Futures trading: it is treated just like any other income (eg a salary earned from employment). So my net trading result for the year is taxed as Income. If I had a ...

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Hi Dutchy, I would be interested in your thoughts as well to this post I have just made over on Brixen's thread re Financial Transaction Tax: url Thanks

Swing Trades DAX/DOW/NQ/GOLD

Hi Brixen, Here is another question for you. This one not directly related to your actual trading: I know from what you have said that trading is your 'day job' ie it is your only income. I also assume from comments that you have made that you are ...

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Not sure if this has been posted already, but EUREX is changing the pip/tick size of the FDAX on 21 December 2020 from 0.5 to 1. Minimum tick value will now be E$25. MDAX remains unchanged. url

DAX Futures Sept 2020

I am sure you could use AMP USA as well. I recall when I setup my AMP account about 12 years ago (bearing in mind I am a New Zealand resident) I had to complete a USA tax form that basically was me acknowledging that I am a NZ tax resident and that ...

DAX Futures June 2020

Hi turnip15, Yes I already trade micros where practicable. I live in New Zealand so trading the HKFE or Eurex is more socially acceptable, otherwise I have to get up about 2am to trade the US Indicies! I may have to bite the bullet and risk having ...
