The day session(pit) recent high for the current multiweek up move is: 165 for the 10yr and 220 for the 5yr. But the overnight sessions have twice hit a high of 185 for the 10yr and 250 for the 5yr. I would be very surprised if this current upleg ended without the day sessions(pit) at...

Typically Monday's with no economic releases are not very volatile or meaningful sessions. sort of drifts. This week watch the PPI, CPI, beige book and philly fed. Remember last months CPI quick early session selloff, marks the current low for this treasury multiweek move. Core CPI was...

no problem.. With Friday's high being 111-000, there had to have been buy stops just above this level so after the 3pm eastern close on friday when it traded above 111, this immediately became support and you see that after ticking above 111 it quickly touched it to then bid up into the end...

If you speculate on whims and hunches in treasuries you're going to lose in the long run. You need to trade them; not this hoping and wishing. you should have got out on the open when you knew your position wasn't proven correct then started trading and made back the few ticks you lost and...

only you, God, and your brokers system. Ecbot does not accept stop orders of any kind.

Make sure your Global Server "Sessions" settings for each security are the times you want to display and collect data for. Also make sure that your are showing "Local Time" or "exchange time" depending on what you want.

well ecbot does not offer stop orders on the system. your broker has to simulate a stop for you in their software.

Imagine the price of a McDonalds hamburger costing $5 one week, $2 the next, and $10 the next........... or how about the Dow Jones Industrials falling 500 points one day without an opportunity for investors to sell their stock in between. The financial markets are an integral part of the...

I submit that without getting experience you cannot develop the necessary mental skills to be consistent. Of course, you don't just rush in and of course you must first learn all the basics of what you are doing, and have plans of action and rules, but I believe you either do it(and immerse...

The reason trading is hard at first is that there are a lot of mental skills and disciplines that need to be learned that aren't natural to you at first. What makes it even harder is the only way to develop these skills is to get actual on the job training and experience for yourself how being...

I've just never liked their price data delivery compared to Globex and the others. Maybe its the data providers and not them, who knows?

why? the bid and offer should(in todays electonic arbitraged world) be the same prices on both before we have a chance to act on any discrepancy. Plus, these contracts are not offsetting across exchanges. You can't buy from one exchange and sell on the other to close the position. BTW. I...

Did you read my previous post above explaining to you what I see going on? I'm starting to get the feeling you have a short position and are in hope mode. If not, and you have no position then why are you trying to make a case for higher rates when they aren't going up? The FOMC doesn't as of...

I think interest rates remain low because we have been experiencing economic growth without as of yet, inflationary signs in the data. The bond market is most sensitive to inflation and the Feds action to combat it; with the only 1k non-farm payrolls added for Dec, this kept the bid alive as...

CME:MR04H MR is the root. The next one will cost you :)

It's because with forex the retail trader is just trading with the bucket shop that they have their account with and only the bucket shop deals with your orders.

The reason the falling dollar isn't a problem yet is that we haven't seen any rising inflation. Inflation is very low and the weak dollar is helping profits of US companies dealing internationally. I think inflation will be a key to watch and so far the recent strength in the economy and...
