Trading usually too slow or too unpredictable for me at this time of year plus there are other distractions, so won't be trading much till Jan. Happy Christmas!

The definition of official settlement price is on the Eurex site: http://www.eurexchange.com/products/FDAX.html The offical prices for yesterday are here: http://www.eurexchange.com/data/statistics/market/online.html?group=IDX&busdate=20051201&symbol=FDAX I'm no expert as to why the settlement...
