    Traders in South Africa?

    I guess he means you can pull in a trading salary from european markets because of the time zone, sun yourself and find living considerably cheaper than doing the same job and same hours, same money whilst paying to live in London

    Flipper Footprints in Dec Bund

    Well some of the flippers run their own hedge fund - funded by flipping. So you can hedge yourself against it by investing with them http://www.rotterinvest.com I entirely agree with your second comment. They bait them out in the open to get them fully exposed and then club them over the head...

    Flipper Footprints in Dec Bund

    I know of a hedge fund trader who burned these flippers earlier this year. He had big orders to do and traded 300-600 lots to look like a local, he'd let the flipper build up 4 prices of 4000 lot spoofs lulling him into thinking he was squeezing them out. Then the fund would fill their true...

    Futures Prop and the Currency Markets

    plenty of volume in yen $ future too. They're good for putting stops in on each side for figures if you're not risk averse (this is obviously on a depth trader direct to the exchange as you have to be fast)

    Long Oil at Open

    This thread was one of the best trade recs I've ever seen on this board. Oil peaked almost $4 higher on the day I feel sorry for those it's aimed for. Aren't all the evacuees from new orleans in makeshift buildings in Houston. Noone can have that much bad luck surely... :confused:

    So who's holding up the Bund at 122.94?

    It's building big ledge there on profile, be too obvious to break it on first few attempts. Need to squeeze locals out of there a few times. The tnote bund spread is at record so if tnote sells 2000 they'll buy bund, been happening since the open so far

    The bar.cap. and jpmorgan reports on friday stated that the european indices were still looking cheap especially compared to across the pond. Looks like they thought Christmas had come early when they opened down there, lift lift lift!

    trading web site for sale

    "Ads by google" is a service you can put on any website. It's a good service to flesh out your page content which matches ads to your site content but it's a free gimmick, I have it on a few sites but it's probably only worth one pretty penny.
