Hello. Can anyone tell me which news events are likely to cause spikes in DAX and where is the best place to keep up to date on these?
Calender on the other tab on this site.

Bloomberg TV. I only watch it around important news moments. The rest is just bla bla.
(its payed TV, but I can watch it for free 3 times 30 Minutes on 3 differnet browsers) All I need.
I know I am a Dutch Cheap Charly, but I don't want to pay for a lot of bla bla of self promoting companies.

But don't (try to) trade news. Better trade just after the news flash (or long way before the event)
Markets react different on news most of the times, then you should/could expect.
So don't try to explain/trade the news. Waist of energy. Just lift on the back of big traders when they react on news events.

Tomorrows news (Red and Orange marked).

I bought something slight above 350 450 KEY LEVEL zone at 486,483 and 469, 455 was not filled, as I saw US futures pumping up after NVIDIA (main SOX share) yd after hours performance +9%.

{quote} Calender on the other tab on this site.
The calendar here is mainly for currencies? Not sure which events will likely cause for surprising volatility in the DAX. No, i don't want to trade any news and actually try to avoid it. For this reason I would like to know what to look out for when it comes to trading DAX or indices in general.

My trading experience so far has only been trading forex. So far, my approach here has been to note the times of news marked in red (found in the FF calendar) at the beginning of the day regarding the currency pair I am trading and then not to trade shortly before or after. Example, if my trading signal is 08:00 AM and there are announced news at this time, i won't place a trade after 07:00 AM and then wait for at least 09:00 AM.

Furthermore, it would be interesting to know whether, from a day trading perspective, trading indices like DAX might be "easier" because of less news and surprising volatility is to be expected? Forex seems to be brutally rigged and quite often I see blatant spikes for the currency pair I'm trading (even without finding a news event for it).

Bloomberg TV: Hell no!

Trading the DAX it's not easier than other financial instrument, FX pair, Metals, Commodities, other Indices and so on.
And frankly it's not so much depending on typical news event, as it follows US main indices.
For instance NVIDIA and US Techs are upbeat last hours and so the same is doing the DAX.

Then obviously there are IFO data (monthly), ZEW data (monthly), PMI German data, or German Lander inflation data or German GDP/jobs German but they have not same impact of same type US data.

Besides news on calendar there also often spikes on DAX when they squeeze out and burn shorts intraday or longs.

In short there is brutality and rough market moves also here, no paradise or free lunch allowed with this beast too! At least this is my humble opinion.
Good luck for you and good luck for me!

No. It is not.

Forex is a very different world compared with Index trading.

Trading indices like DAX might be "easier" because of less news and surprising volatility is to be expected?
Same strange moves happen in the indexes, thus also the DAX
There is no easy market to trade. Always Expect The Unexpected.

Thank's a lot. So it sounds like, there is nothing much i can do about it. When these spontaneous spikes happen, even for no apparent reason, all I can do is place my stop and hope that order doesn't get filled at a price too far away from it.
