Yeah, that's it. If you want to predict become an analyst. If you want to make money as a trader get very close to your market (Imagine it is your lovely one and try to read every wish from her glossy lips).

The bund is quite jumpy today (3 ticks sometimes with one big order), but I do not think flipping will affect the liquitdity of the bund.

good one - more than 65% of the range untill now

Back again! Never hesitate

How do you know Paul Rotter is playing smaller size?

Flip, flop and fly.. Who knows?! We are in a wide balancing area in the bund future. Kind of tug of war.

Have you stopped trading the Bund future?

I haven't played in ESTX yet (if this question was addressed to me), but it was still unnecessary risk being long in ESTX over the weekend (not quite a hedge for your stocks). You know it is hard to become profitable, but it is quite harder to stay profitable.
