    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    this may help out the OP. I recently moved from London, UK to Wasaga Beach, Ontario. I trade Eurex, Liffe, CME, CBOT and ICE. I use quad screens, and actively trade about 15 contracts across those markets over a VPN with all my data coming from and returning to my clearer in London, UK...

    Bund Future 03/28/2008

    That is exactly the reason i keep half my longs, i honestly believed they would be busted. In the meantime Bunds rallied a further 40 ticks, incredible day.

    Bund Future 03/28/2008

    i brought half above and half below 115.13... sold 1/3 instantly then dumped to half position when heard the level for investigation. held the other half over the number and sold 86 down to 82 on the confirmation they were good. My best buy was 114.83. The longest 90 mins of my life.
