The price of a Big Mac is now $17.19 in Zurich Just a quick thought on a ridiculously volatile day: One of the things that people pick up on very quickly as they travel are how different price levels are around the world. I've been to roughly 100 countries, and I still find it amazing how...

overrun by algos submitting orders. immninent flash crash on the way. the exchanges have lost control. lets hope they do prison time with some real hard alpha males.

IMO - the reason for the large moves up and down quickly and vicously is down to the 'cascade effect'. everyone including algos are all sellers or are all buyers. there is very little 2 way business. as soon as an order in the book is spotted it is exploited immediately. you can make...

same here mate. as soon as my order is working at the bid or offer the market that was trading in thousands suddenly stops and then moves away. everyone i speak to says them same. its bullshit . they churn the volume till they find a natural order and then try to get you to pay up of...

volumes in bunds, bobls and shatz were very good according to eurex last month. http://www.eurexchange.com/about/press/press_759_en.html however, for those of us that actually trade these markets the volume is bullshit algo led rebate machines scratching most trades and queue...

as a nation the united stated is done. it had its moment and now its bankrupt. empires and great nations come and go. it does not feel good and nobody wants to admit it but it is the sad truth - i should know im english. we have not even got a navy anymore. no money left to...

1 month bills settled last night negative work that one out

why treasurys rally on the basis of a default seems pretty crazy. ultiimately if you hold any paper that you are not receiving any interest on and is worth less than you paid for it you would sell it. but in this algo driven market the fundamentals of trading do no make money. this is...

why when i can trade from home remotely??

the market has fully priced and discounted a july hike of 25bp. the only 2 upsets are: (1) they hike today. (2) they remove any chance of a july rate hike. in terms of volatility in a supposed rate rising cycle this is the quietest i have ever seen. the ever efficient liquidity...

no mr bond - i expect you to die http://www.eutimes.net/2011/05/russia-says-imf-chief-jailed-for-discovering-all-us-gold-is-gone/

the legal cheat continutes unabated http://www.zerohedge.com/article/one-trading-loss-day-q1-between-goldman-jpmorgan-and-bank-america-combined

well for the supposed largest provider of liquidity on cme liffe and eurex these figures do not paint a pretty picture. so much for the creation of liquidity by the algo companies. http://www.rsj.com/en/

funny when i was trying to trade the other day the order book melted 15 bund ticks. there was no volume to execute an order. the ever increasing bullshit exchange volumes. can someone get the crossed up volume between one algo company that has 50 accounts running. deduct that...

i would not get your hopes up. since this crisis began in 2007 the ecb is the king of never delivering. they never step up to the plate. this is the same organisation that hiked rates back in 08 only to reverse it the following month. pathetic

The concern is that since the number of mini crashes, precipitated in...

as the elite trader official flash crash poster here is the latest bullshit to go on. http://www.zerohedge.com/article/livedeal-flash-smash-sends-stock-365-nukes-shorts

expect more of the same until the big one hits. i predict a major index will melt down or melt up by a significant percentage within a year. only then will regulators act. if one thing has been learnt from the original flash crash is the ability of everyone to sweep everything...
