    Bond rally nearing an end?

    That's exactly what IB told, but that is the last trading day, not the expiration day. I checked too on ECBOT and didn't notice any expiration date, but only the last trading day. Yes i agree it would be the trade of the century but i didn't buy at 1/64 in the money. I bought the options when...

    Bond rally nearing an end?

    Dhpar, first of all, thanks for the help. Options didn't expire today, at least for ZB and ZN. Today was the last trading day for the September options contracts. They expire on September 1, at least is what InteractiveBrokers says. Well, the trade was supposed to last only a few hours or...

    monster rally coming!!

    I post an hourly chart with the SPX and VIX index. We can see clearly that there is a divergence. While the VIX made a new high on Friday and traded above the highs made last week, the SPX index stayed above the lows made also last week. I think there is much bearishness on the market and...

    monster rally coming!!

    I think we haven't seen an ABC correction already, so i agree it is possible to see a rally of 2 to 3 weeks and then resume the correction with new lows, below the 1427 touched two weeks ago. Bye.

    Bond rally nearing an end?

    Did someone noticed that the two spikes on the 10 y (ZN) futures at 107^27 and 107 ^31 were made out of regular trading hours, in other words, with the yelds closed? I think this market is going higher at least to test this highs, maybe when the stock market resume the downtrend. Abraço e BN.

    Looking for advice on European futures trading

    Hi. In my opinion, the best euro markets futures to daytrading, position trading, etc, are the Eurostoxx50, DAX30 and sometimes CAC40. We can say that DAX30 is the lighthouse of the European Markets. So, if trading the Eurostoxx50 or CAC40, we must look also for what the DAX30 is doing. It's...

    Is IB really that bad?

    Hi guys. In my opinion, IB is the best broker. Ok, charts are poor, but we may get this very fine API: www.IBcharts.com The commisions are the best. All the problems that most people post here in ET about IB, i have never experienced. Never had problems with IB. The costumer service is...

    Bond rally nearing an end?

    Lol, funny, i told i wouldn't bet a short right here :), but at least in an intraday basis i should have done. Maybe it was the strong employment data. But after the ADP report released yesterday, i have a feeling that tomorrow the payrolls are going to be very well below expectations and...
