So, the DAX moves in certain days - can we profit?
In a bull market prices regularly rise on Monday, Thursday and Friday, whereas prices drop on Tuesday and Wednesday in general. Vice versa in a bear market.
If you look for a buy signal in a bull market you should enter at the end of the week and you should avoid Tuesday.
The question “why” is interesting, but pure speculation. Much more interesting is the following question: Can we transfer this advantage in probability into an advantage in profit? We can use a simple calculation with fixed rules and then analyse it based on historical data.

How we enter of a trade in a DAX bull market
If the open of the trading day is above the exponential moving average of 80 periods, we consider it a bull market.
Based on our calculations we enter long on Monday, Thursday and Friday and we enter short on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Monday morning we buy and close it shortly before the close, on Tuesday we go short and so on.

We need a little pull back of the US markets to get the DAX singles covered.

We analyse when there is movement in the market and how strong it is. We measure the absolute percentage movement of the FDAX during an hour. Then we calculate it for 50 days and we get the heat map in Figure 6.

On the y-axis you see the past 100 days. You can see at one glance, that there are only minor changes after 7 pm (majority blue). There is strong movement between 9 am and 10.30 am as well as in the late afternoon (majority green). You can now develop your own intraday system with this knowledge.

9.00 AM (EU time) is the EU/DAX RTH/Cash open.
17.00 (EU time) is 30 minutes before the RTH/Cash close.
Often very good trades in these hours. Very focussed then.

During US market RTH/Cash open, I do not trade the DAX.
DAX is waiting approx. 1 hour from the US open for the US market direction.

I thought about that, but VW results were good today and EUR was getting weaker so despite time series, there was some underlying factors that could lift it today. VW up 5% today.

The US authorities in New York arrested a former manager of the British bank HSBC in relation to possible involvement in the fraud with currency exchange rates. Bloomberg News Agency Wednesday reported that on the basis of initiates.
Mark Johnson, who was picked up on airport JFK International, is the former head of the foreign exchange Division. It is the first time that a person in the United States is being sued in connection with the scandal around manipulating exchange rates by traders from big banks. Justice in the US is already three years investigating the case.
Several banks have themselves according to global regulators guilty of dubious practices in the international currency trading for own gain. There are already several traders dismissed or laid off because of the case.
