I've been trading Indices, specifically USTech100 and Dax40 for some time. I've also been reading a lot about level-2 data for which the examples are always for specific stocks. I'm fairly new to level-2 so please bear with me,

Is there a way of using level-2 to help with Tech100 and Dax40 day trading? I was thinking that getting level-2 data for a NASDAQ tracker ETF such as QQQ would help. And a respective DAX ETF too.

There is a further issue I see if I sign up to level-2, most of the time it's going to be UK level-2 which means I'd have to follow a UK ETF, perhaps CDNX and XDAX. Will these be decent proxies though for the market as a whole? Should I actually start trading CNDX rather than Tech100?

  Love that Bitget is running this May Savings Carnival! Giving users a chance to earn on deposits and win prizes is a great way to show appreciation. Haven't won any cash prizes myself yet, but im looking forward to the opportunity.

  The gaming P2E space is definitely heating up in 2024! Undeads sounds like a project with a lot of potential, especially with the focus on "craft-to-earn" mechanics alongside the usual P2E elements. The backing from industry brands and the Bitget listing are positive signs too. I'm curious to see how the gameplay unfolds and how $UDS performs. It's a project to keep an eye on.
- Why do Traders say that DAX 40 (Germany) is the hardest market to trade, when it is the easiest?

  I think another aspect is that DAX has a tendency to make decisive and clean moves - more so than other markets. For example, I had a really good trade last week, that shows this very clearly (see chart below)
