On and off and especially last year I experimented with the ES. Because everybody seems to be day-trading this market.
However, in my opinion the ES/S&P500 is the most complex instrument out there - 500 stocks, futures, ETFs, warrants, options, stat-arb tens of thousands accounts trading it and on and on. For sure it is not only one of the most complex instruments but also the most efficient. But as a trader you want to profit from inefficiencies - that's your business.
No wonder, my results have always been quite mixed with this market...

Last year I digged into Eurostoxx50 futures.
EUREX commissions/ round turn costs are much cheaper than CME's, with a good FCM.
EUREX introduced Micros and reduced the tick size. The Micro is only € 0.5 a tick.
The order-flow is better to read than with ES not to say the NQ.
If the Eurostoxx 50 decides to put in a move this is often enough happening without sharp pull-backs.
I have traded it in sim-mode since several month now and from the beginning on I was profitable. This never happened to me before neither with Forex nor Crude nor Gold etc.
Now I start to test the Micro with real-money.

I thought Eurostoxx 50 would be the European equivalent to ES.

Interesting to hear that you're getting improved results changing to another market. I've heard similar stories, so market selection is no dobut important. One guy I talked to moved from ES to the Bund.
