Sobre los futuros del DAX y el riesgo nocturno para nuevos traders

Traducido automáticamente del original · Leer el original (English)

He estado adentrándome poco a poco en los futuros del DAX, el paper trading ha ido bien. Lo que me cuesta entender es la estrategia real de mantener posiciones durante la noche. ¿La mayoría de ustedes opera intradía el FDXM/FDAX y cierra posiciones antes de que termine la sesión de EE. UU., o es más común de lo que pienso mantener posiciones durante la noche, dada la volatilidad? Y si las mantienen, ¿cuál es su enfoque típico de dimensionamiento de riesgo para esos gaps?

Overnight holds on DAX? Sounds like a fantastic way to age prematurely. I'm usually out by the time the Americans are thinking about their second coffee, but I have to admit, those gap-up mornings can be tempting enough to make one consider the grey hairs.

It's a really valid question, and for new traders, overnight risk can be a significant hurdle. My personal preference is to mostly day trade the DAX, closing positions before the US close to avoid those unpredictable gaps. While some do hold, I find the risk/reward for overnight exposure often doesn't justify the potential downside, especially with leveraged futures.

It's a good question. From what I've seen, most retail traders I know tend to close out DAX futures positions before the US close to avoid those overnight gaps, especially with leverage. Institutional players might hold, but they have different risk parameters. What's your average holding period been in your paper trading?
