EuroStoxx 50 Timeframes

Recommended Posts

I've been looking at a multitude of differnt time periods from time based to tick, volume, etc. with out coming to any firm conclusion. I would appreciate any advice or feedback from other Euro Stoxx 50 traders as to an intraday time period that seems to work best on a consistent sort of basis for the Stoxx, i.e. 5 min, 233 tick, etc. Many thanks.

This is a very vague question. This is like asking what is the best car for me. How can anyone answer that without knowing what I need a car for? Without saying what kind of trading you do, I don't think anyone can even try to answer your question. And once you define exactly what you need it for, you probably would be able to answer your own question.

Markets have their own rhythms as I'm sure you are aware. A couple of years ago the FESX seemed to have nice flow or rhythm on a 199 or 233 tick chart (we are obviously talking intraday here). Since the market crash this flow seems to have shifted dramatically, if not disappeared. I have yet to find a time period in which this flow is evident so was looking for input from other Euro Stoxx 50 traders.

Decide what size swings you want to capture (working out roughly how big the swings actually are will help, do it by eyeball or more quantitative methods). Also decide if you want to take the major intraday swings or the smaller fluctuations. This will allow you to pick a TF chart that lets you see what you need to see to clearly identify those swings. Some people pick a larger chart for context and a smaller one for a trigger.

 

I guess in short I am saying change your emphasis. Decide what you want and pick tools that let you achieve it. Sounds like you might be heading down the right path however, this is one of the few things we can control so it is worth devoting some effort to (imho).

Many thanks BlowFish. I scalp the first third at a set target, take the next third off at the second target, and let the remainder ride. I haven't found a tick setting, or a minute based chart under 5, that gives the flow as it use to. At the moment I've settled on the 5 minute while I continue the search. Will also have to have a look at range charts as per electroniclogical's reply. Cheers.

Thanks electroniclocal. I've haven't really looked at range based charts closely but will experiment with them to see how they compare with tick and minute charts. Had a quick squint at your blog. Looks very interesting and will have a much closer read through this coming week. Cheers.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
