I started with TCA and it was tedious trading on the sim at first, but once I started to build up an account balance it was fine. The mentoring is great and best of all the risk is all theirs!

I know what that means. AC!

There's nothing there... 'tis like Eurex U.S. was (is?)

Thanks... Obv direction is key... have found the bund more volatile than the note of late, but as I can't be trusted to input simple data into Bberg I may well be wrong on this too. Look forward to new chart on Wednesday! Happy Christmas (or festive season, whatever we're meant to call it now!)

This is interesting... Ive been trading a completely different ratio and was working fine, will chart ratio given when I get back to the office. Last time I checked on Bberg the ratio was completely different to what you say.... Hope I didn't completely screw up my inputting. Thanks a lot.

My last post should have read... will OFTEN go tick for tick with the € v. $. Havent got Bberg at home... I think it's more like 1.17 to 1 now.

Interest rate speculation is key. Hope this doesnt sound too obvious. Short term trading in the spread will go almost tick for tick with the Euro v $. I trade 5 bunds to 4 ten year.

At my company, we dont put any money down and are not in positions overnight. The average position on the bund will be between 50 and 150 lots (1 lot = a hundred thousand euros worth of govt debt 1 tick on one lot = 10 euros) Hope this helps.

That's right, none. Whilst there are a large numbers of failures, most people trading after 3/4 years are capable of making £50k (and many make lots more) per month (before the company takes their share). Trade the usual German and US products.

Yep, I'm interested (having just established a) where it is and b) the tax rates. The link posted above looks ok... anywhere else?

Tom Cole... you are wrong... why an earth would I or any of my colleagues making more than GBP50,000 a month (ok the firm takes 40-60%) trading in a 'bucket shop' want to move to an Investment bank for a similar/lower salary and triple our hours (working with a load of posh nobs)?

Big stop at 34 (where two lots traded) triggering other stops (a total of 45,000 I think) Basically large stops on the 100% retracement (I think, def a level of some sort) triggering more stops exacerbated by thin volumes (Thanksgiving). The IFO fig had nothing to do with it... in fact...

Are there any prop firms in lower tax countries than the UK (40% tax, 11% NI, 17.5% VAT, extortionate local taxes all to live in Blairs Britain where idleness gets rewarded). Oh yeah, somewhere hot would be nice as well (maybe Caymans/Bermuda) or is that really asking too much? Any contact...
