I use limit orders to trade Bund/bobl but usually I have to wait quite a long time(sometimes more than 10 minutes) before they could be executed. From the quotes shown, there are usually thousand of bid and ask but only a few transactions. Does it mean there is a very lone queue?
Since I use...
To become a good trader, you need to spend at least 3 or 4 years to practice and to learn from the MARKETS. The books can only teach you the basic knowledges, they can't give you the skills. Just like the doctors, they can't just read the books and then become a good doctor. They also need to...
I ask this question because I am playing more and more contracts. It won't be a big problem if I only play two contracts. I fear some of the orders may be filled far below the price I want. It may not be a good thing, since the price may actually start to decline.
If the price touched 1000 so the stop-limit order is activated but there are other orders in front of mine and they are executed, then the price drops down to 999.75 and my orders are still waiting. Is there still a chance that my order may be executed at other price?
It may not be the exact price I entered if the price suddenly jumps. For example, if I enter a buy order of ES at 1000, the price jumps down to 999.75, the limit order may be excecuted at that point. I mean to buy ONLY at a price, not more not less.

He is one of my least favorite. He gives me an impression that we should only buy...
If I already traded more than 300 contracts of ZN, will I start getting lower fees for the futures that trading at the same exchange e.g. ZB/ZF? Or it is just for ZN?
Correct me if I am wrong.
If I trade less than 300 RT per month of Eurex futures, I can still save money to choose the new schedule. It is 1.4 Vs 2 per side. Is this correct?
I noticed since yesterday that when the prices of those ECBOT futures running fast the IB TWB would have problem. Either disconnected or the quotes could not updated fast enough. Anyone got the same experience? I am sure this is not the problem of the ECBOT or my own computer because I have...
