    Which Trading Platform for E-minis

    because it is used by every high volume firm on and off the floor at every futures exchange in the world. As a high volume high frequency futures trader nothing is even close!

    Anybody else short US 30 Bond

    I thought the spooz were consolidating to pop higher since the last 3-4 times we hit over 1390 they killed it and did not do it this time. Since we could not get under 1370 for a week or so I thought there would be a bear trap pop up to 1420 but that did not happen. What has happened is the...

    Anybody else short US 30 Bond

    sorry looked at my fills no 17's just got 15's and 16's. covered at 11. This is the one response I am going to give you increase now it is called a NOB, like you. You lock in your profit when you are long some ZN and short some ZB at optimal price points.

    Anybody else short US 30 Bond

    the violence of the moves are too much for me today was up 9 ticks then got smoked for the thing to move 5-6 full ticks within 30 seconds is really too much on a day when there are no numbers. Oh well I am at home now. I guess I should have stayed short...

    US T-Notes v T-Bonds

    Bernanke and Paulson have shown a total disregard for inflation and the dollar the number one theme in today's market on a daily basis is credit (bank to bank) and earnings right now, more economic issues. You can short a ZB right now and be a 60 tick winner or loser in a matter of a few...

    ES M8 is horrible

    I am not getting chopped out (they are not running stops when it stays in a 3-4 handle range all morning) just pissed at waiting so long for a move it's trading like the ZN did from 2005-2007 mid way. I like the programs they tweak out and can't handle vol at least that is what is happening in...

    ES M8 is horrible

    I traded spooz back then also at least the spooz had a rhythm to em', no rhythm at all the last few weeks just chop chop chop. I guess vol comes back down for spooz but the treasuries are very violent right now, especially the bondo.

    ES M8 is horrible

    this trade gets worse everyday how many hours did it sit in 4 point range! Why won't big players let it go somewhere? I guess they would rather churn 1000 lots in a 2-3 handle range. I am glad it finally broke I only waited about 5 hours to take out 4 handles!
