I mainly trade US Stocks and ES but want to start trading the European open. Can anyone recommend a good futures contract to look at trading.

Dax (Fdax) is a good one highly correlated with the Dow but with smother intraday trends. there is a mini version as well.

Dax is quite wild and is 25 euros per point. Be careful.

Eurostoxx is an amalgam of European indices, mainly French and Dax weighted. It's a thick market.
Bund is the German 10 year bond, also nice and thick market. I'd go with those, especially bund.
