The IB CFDs are only for the DAX30 shares at the moment, not the index.
For longer term trading maybe the EXS1 ETF (similar to US SPY or QQQ) is a solution.

Thanks for your replies.

I have found many spread betting/cfd companies that do the DAX but all have very limited trading abilities, nothing like ninjatrader.

If i want to trade on ninjatrader im going to need 5k to day trade 2 lots on the FDAX.

Can anyone tell me a ninjatrader broker that gives a lower margin for day trading ?

Domestic US?, or off shore US?

Mr Synergy,

Likewise same deal $2.5k margin per contract..
I don't believe there is anything better... without sacrificing the real market..
ie- ig markets or any other cfd provider etc... which obviously is no good for us Ninja boys

cheers

Hello,
For sure you need to consider a broker offering CFD's as there is no Mini-Dax future on the Eurex. In the US CFDs not an approved type of contract by the CFTC, but in UK/Europe there are plenty of brokers offering this contract.

Bear in mind that CFDs are mostly OTC, so while you will benefit from the smaller size your execution will be affected by spread and all the crap happening in the retail OTC. I would rather consider trading the future instead.

Interactive Brokers announced that CFDs based upon 8 major European stock market indexes are now available.
