I am talking tick bar or candle charts. Because of electronic trading I have went to tick charts. One of my beafs with Cqg was no adjustable tick charting back in the day. Over the past few years they have added tick charting. The patterns I use to trade in the bond are of 30 minute...

Any of you guys using tick charts on the dax? If yes, comment on which tick charts work for you? 100,300?

They are stupid! I am making calls. I was planning on EurexUSA coming out with the ER2. I do not care if it worked one way or another. However, I know from what happened with the Cbot. If Eurex USA brings them out my costs at the CME will go down! This is the positive. Every trader has...

Yes, big time......that is why he did not F@$k them!!!

Futurestrader71, I agree. I do not believe in good markets or bad markets only markets that are going to make ME money!! I have been around this business now for ten years. My cost over the last three have went down substantially. Especially, in the last year. I have always liked the...

sas, Read my earlier post. Eurex USA is well thought out and they are on there own timeframe. It was planned to start slow and build. That is what you are seeing. Yes, Eurex and Eurex USA are going to some kinda faster/better connections?? I am not techie so I do not know if I worded it...

Fat, M5 and U5 are fine---remember when a market is 24 hours (esp fixed income it moves 24 hours a day). Pull up tick charts instead of minute charts. The transition to all electronic fixed income markets has made this an imperative for momentum players. For instance, I had to adjust from...

trdinglife, You are right about the 10 year not technically being the belly anymore (sorry). I have the Eurostrips up on tick charts and there are little rips. I see what you are talking about. I position trade one end of the curve and daytrade one end. That is just my eclectic style. I...

The belly of the curve===5's and 10's. I usually prefer the 2 year to the Euro strips on the short end. In realty, none of them get to far out of line. I found for momentum players (esp. new to fixed income) need to keep it simple at first.

Fatfozzy, Switch to the belly of the curve. 5's and 10's (esp. 10's)---look at tick charts on the electronic symbols. For instance, I am a momentum trder to the extreme. I look at 50 tick 10 year electronic all session and 300 tick. Some times 3 min "day only session" as well. You can...

Reuters is superior to Bloomberg in my opinion. I have seen Reuters beat the pants of Bloomberg time and time again on the number!!!! By the way, on Reuters you can subscribe to MNI (Market News International). It is an add on news service. MNI is also available directly from there...

SteveL91, Agree with you again, I believe America has many known problems. In Europe, there will be many surprises (esp. immigration/demographics --far right etc..). We all hear all the horrible fundamentals affecting America (I have heard about them my whole life). People are dead right...

SteveL91, I agree with you on Europe. I started getting short the Euro early this afternoon on one of my rules. I was surprised the Euro went down as much as it did. We may have a currency regime change going. If the US economy appears to be showing strength over Europe ( and that...

ChiBondKing!!--good name,\ I used to trade in the Cbot and loved those fish sandwiches!!!! Anyhow, yeah I forgot to mention you can trade Cbot debt on Espeed. Generally, this has lead to cash guys trading the futures into the number or whenever they need to get in fast!!! They should just...

Fatfozzy, I would say that espeed was great. However, their rules (in my opinion) have not kept up to speed. When all the arbing was done from the espeed and the phone tied to the pit in the CBOT it was great (just 3 years ago--you could still do this). However, now the futures are all...

FYI---just released-----JoHa ----think E-Speed is "feeling a little heat"..... http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ft/20040813/bs_ft/068d0f96ed6311d8a58700000e2511c8

Joha, I did not know anything about "linking liquidity pools". I am going to ask around about that one. Thanks for sharing the info.

Joha, Since they have announced this. Everyone has got on the bandwagon talking about how this would help. I agree with you on all the stupid rules. That is why I just trade futures. Most traders (cash) have said it is about damn time they have tried to bring their rules into the 21st...

Maptrader, What TT is doing is simply running ICap//Brokertec's market on the Xtrader front end. So basically you can spread them easily. As you know cash margins about the same as futures. Brokertec's new owners ICap (these two combined have now become bigger than Espeed) planned on...

Icap is what it is now called. They are the main competitor to Espeed. They bought Brokertec and are European based. I believe it is now called Icap/brokertec. I have only used espeed but know many that use Brokertech and are geering up for the following: Here is a news release a...
