@GFIs1 may have good information, otherwise use the ES ones and also Euopean/UK holidays and days where it quite simply looks like a chopfest, today for example.
Yes - I do not trade the Dax on US holidays. If a holiday is connected with the weekend I am cautious on the
days before and after that long weekend.
The calender I am using: DerivateCheck
For the days with high volume (RollOver, Big Numbers, FED or ECB announcements etc.) the trading is always
difficult. For a normal trader this is a red flag ;-)
The DAX has the same triple witching days as US index futures.

The options contracts expire on the third Friday at 1:00 PM of each month.
Contract Expiry(Single Stock Futures):
Single stock options expire on the third Friday of each month at 5:45 PM CET.
Contract Expiry (Single Stock Options):
Single stock options expire on the third Friday of each month at 8:00 PM CET.
You can find the actual calendar dates on the website of EUREX:
