hey punk - you have been going through a streak of consecutive losses - just my opinion: trading your own money is not going to make it better, if anything, it will put more pressure on you and make things worse - can you go on a simulator, at least until you can see that you are starting to...

hey punk buddy - i know you are going through tough times - i can relate to what you are going through - i think you've made an excellent decision to reduce your size, it would not make any sense if you have to work another job just to subsidize your trading losses.. - now from my own...

great thread - excellent revelation by the way that there are plenty of ex-floor (or not ex..) traders here on ET - although many of them do not appear to be frequent posters here, it seems.. - thanks guys for sharing your experiences, great fun to read.

hey 'punk - i have been following your journal - great work - sounds like you are having a tough streak the last few days.. - the only remark i can make from my own experience, what helps me is trading less and trading smaller size until i start winning again.. - from your posts over the last...

ok, thx for the info - i've almost stopped checking the euro frequently as it's been a creepy market in january, even on the bund we've had much better, i.e. more clear moves...

futurestrader - well, that's how the s&p trades nowadays, so it makes sense that dax follows the suit in the u.s. session - the folks know this s&p is not likely to fall in a straight line so presumably they bid up this dax if dax is getting out of whack - only sometimes of course the dax does...

hi chinook - thx for the answer - i suppose one could say the same about the bund, i.e. most of the volume is interbank but the bund future is so liquid that i'd think the volume in it would reflect the bias of the active participants rather than computer arbing off the underlying market.. thx...

hi guys - i have been reading your thread last couple of days, great thread, sounds like you are doing good work trading - i have a question re. your referring to "volume" - i presume you mean t&s / dom on the globex futures - now i thought most of the volume there is computer-driven arbing off...

oh yeah - re. fakes i love seeing like today this 200 lot kept coming in and out - and i especially love it when it does get whacked! - in any case, what a day on this dax - first little upside fakeout, then better move down this morning in Europe, at least more power down than yesterday - then...

i am a more short-term trader - i mind the gap but i don't specifically play for the fill of the gap - these last few days the gap fills have been creepy and tough to trade short term - yesterday's lack of entusiasm at the top was good sign this rally needs to consolidate/pullback before going...

not really meaning to interfere here.. but.. jut got done trading my morning dax session - seeing this thread active, was hoping traders would discuss some actual trading here.. e.g. short-term dax action today quite similar to friday morning, imo..

Scientist - thanks for your posts - your insights are great - i'd appreciate your opinion on this - i trade dax mostly - it's a great contract to trade.. - seeing this range in the s&p / dow / naz dwindle away - do you think within a short while they will start ratcheting the dax in the same...

hi Peter - will check it out - thanks a lot for your help!

excellent thread - many thanks to the founder of the thread - and to all who have contributed so far - these insights are very inspiring - i do not have anything to contribute at this time, but perhaps soon.. - i look forward to reading on - thanks again

hi there Ditch - thanks - is this a memeber or ...?

hi all - i trade eurostoxx and s&p eminis - full time, both markets - i am looking to start trading THE BUND - i have been watching this market for a while... - i have looked / searched for some BUND threads on this forum - could not find much useful info - i am looking for quality info on the...
