I really can't see that happening, neither do I see a sell-off to $40 either, I would predict that we trade between $48 and $78 for the rest of the year. I think that a lot behind oil's squeeze to $147 was hedge funds/speculators driving the price higher and higher and causing more and more...

I traded financial futures for years, then when the Oil markets got really busy and pushed up to $147 per barrel I had a dabble, turned out to be the best move I ever made - great volatilty and liquidity, I pretty much just swing trade it in small size with stops wide enough to give the trade a...

If high frequency trading is the new big thing then why are all the volumes down ? It appears that they process the information and pump orders into the market at high-frequency but don't actually complete anywhere near the amount of trades that they submit into the market. It should be...

How ironic that you should start this thread.

Where did I say I was on the losing side? I've just had to adjust - find suitable markets for myself and adapt a style for today's modern markets. Completely disagree with your second point too. Demand for programmers and hardware makers of that scale is hardly going to benefit society to a...

Bund Future is FGBL Bund Option is OGBL GBL stands for 'Government Bond Long' (Remaining Term is 8.5 to 10.5 years) Hence GBM or Bobl stands for 'Government Bond Medium/Mid' (Remaining Term is 4.5 to 5.5 years) Therefore GBS or Schatz stands for 'Government Bond Short' (Remaining...

This thread is a little confusing - he says very confidently : "I dare you to touch an equity today. Tell me you're making money on equities...." Regardless of how long-term you're looking for that is a crap piece of advice, maybe he might have got some agonised longs out of their...

ZN is dog-$hit now, I moved back into the 30yr a while ago, found it too hard to get involved - unless I wanted to get picked up on crap trades then completely traded through, anything half decent and there's not enough two-way order flow to get decent fills, at least in ZB there's some...

But what happens when high frequency traders gradually kill off the population - take Bund/Bobl and Schatz on Eurex and 10/30yr on CBOT, not so long ago they were THE place to be but high frequency algos with deep pockets have cleaned out the smaller people - now daily volumes are pathetic and...

How about when gay men become ridiculously OVER-gay, like they've got all this pent-up gayness that's been hidden away for years and they need to scream it from the rooftops.............I have nothing against knob-jockeys but for crying out loud..........if you like a bit of dick be discreet...

I never said scalp the Buxl and the OP never asked for markets to scalp. Just because it does a low volume doesn't mean you can't make money in there, if anything it separates the men from the boys, big tick size and big spread between bid and offer, not a bunch of weasels all trading around...

Talking of skanks, how are you kts? Still playing with yourself cos you can't find a guy brave enough to go there?

Don't you mean "8mm" ??

Excellent call, I knew I recognised her from somewhere but just couldn't figure it out.......the bad news is she's engaged to 'Borat' star Sacha Baron Cohen
