Markets
Eurex equity-index futures cover the major continental European equity benchmarks — the German DAX, the EURO STOXX 50 and the Swiss Market Index (SMI) — plus smaller contract sizes on the same indices.
Three benchmarks sit at the centre of this family. Each has its own contract, and each contract is a separate market:
| DAX | Germany | FDAX · FDXM · FDXS | DAX futures → |
| EURO STOXX 50 | The Eurozone | FESX | EURO STOXX 50 futures → |
| SMI | Switzerland | FSMI | SMI futures → |
These three contracts are the ones Iron Ledger researches on this exchange — one modelled market each. Every product page carries the contract facts for its own market.
These contracts list on Eurex, the European derivatives exchange operated by Deutsche Börse Group. They are cash settled and run on the quarterly cycle — March, June, September and December.
Sessions are referenced in Central European Time. The German and Eurozone contracts open earlier than the Swiss contract, and the last trading day of an expiring contract always ends earlier than a normal day. Each product page states its own hours, and the exchange publishes the current schedule and holiday calendar — linked under Sources below.
Iron Ledger runs live research models on three of these markets — Micro-DAX (FDXS), EURO STOXX 50 (FESX) and the SMI (FSMI). Each has its own published research record:
Every market is researched separately, and each model's record sits on its own page. Iron Ledger does not combine these markets into one European result, and does not treat a result from one as evidence for another.
Find the market you want, then follow its product page for the contract facts and its model page for the research record. These are three different markets, in different currencies, with different sessions — this page does not rank them.
Contract information across this family is based on current Eurex specifications. Iron Ledger paraphrases those sources rather than reproducing their specifications or tables. Readers who need the authoritative and current terms should use the exchange's own product pages.
