I'm always dubious about eurex's pr.I remember when the volumes collapsed after the 2008 crisis and in 2009 they were jumping for joy when they had increased from absurdly low levels. The funny thing is that with all this "alleged" volume i've always got some scumbag who jumps in front of a...

Had a quick look at Crosslands website and cannot see their R/T rates. Any idea what they are and also what do they charge for TT? Thanks in Advance

If it were a Jewish holiday then i'd definitely agree but a muslim holiday,not so sure their contribution is there yet. Another 100+ tick bund range yet it feels dead again. 4 days in a row huge ranges yet the action has been 1 way and felt very staged. Not being glass half empty but am...

Another terrible volume day for eurex bonds yesterday. 130 tick range on 600k by 5pm in bunds,bobl and schatz were pretty pathetic also I wonder what it takes for someone at eurex to think there may be a problem.

The fact that you honestly think that HFT adds liquidity says it all. They have sucked TRUE liquidity dry. The markets have never been this dysfunctional or disorderly. Confidence in markets has to be at an all time low,before these HFT/Algo d**kheads turned up things by and large...

What a load of shit!

Lets say for arguments sake that you bought 10 FGBS @109.60 and sold them at 109.64 netting a 40 tick profit. What do you think the trans tax on that trade would be at a rate of 0.1%?

You don't think that HFT/Algo is going to destroy the business anyway? I'd say the calamity it's causing they won't need to wait for an EU law.

Where are you from?

A cancelled order tax - what a brilliant idea! I know this idea has been floated unsuccessfully before but I think this time the powers that be have had enough and will act,a tax of this nature will kill the profits that these swindlers need to keep their business model going...

I've told you once nicely to basically fuck off. I don't want to have to be abusive towards you but I will if you hassle me again. I sincerely hope you understand this simple message.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nyse-euronext-shares-drop-on-eurozone-tax-comments-2011-08-16 I'll gladly pay a bit more,with a massive smile on my face for A) Get a decent market back where people,oh I don't know,actually want to do a decent % of orders entered B) Get rid of the back...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-16/asian-stocks-gain-on-takeovers-valuations-euro-trades-near-3-week-high.html Best news so far. Let's see how quick the scum are inputing their bullshit non- trades when charging is a very real possibility. I guess the margins will be screwed too...

I guess you think it's a positive then. What a clown! Do me a favour,don't reply to my posts,I really have nothing to say to you.

Surely no-one here thinks the behaviour of the either the nat gas algo or the "disruptor" from the article on page 1 is a good thing on any level?

Agree with everything except the above quote. Only trade futures and i'm struggling to get fills all day long. In liffe and cme stirs the bid/offer is always in crazy amounts so the pro-rata matching is manipulated. In eurex and cbot bonds the market either stops short by 1 tick or...

Is that messages or actual lots entered into the market? liffe and eurex use the loophole of "messages" over volume. To stop the behaviour it has to be a volume related threshold before fines kick in.

100% right Here's an interesting article on the subject from the weekend papers. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/8700226/Lord-Myners-calls-for-inquiry-on-black-box-trading.html

I think you're a bit late to the party.

Nah, You guys are on your way out. Stick a few cents on the trades(when you actually trade that is) Make a minimum time for trades to be live in the market. You're done,and it's happening sooner than you think. Just so we're clear - I don't take issue with people who use automated...
